I run a SMP box, (p3 1000s) that is sweet with Mandrake SMP, and I used to show people how much slower winME was on the same box, (knowing full well win ME only saw the one CPU),, well when i got a gift of win2000pro, I installed it as a tripple boot, and let me tell you,, in spite of W2k noticeing the second CPU, it is a bigger dog than win ME as far as getting things done multitasking. in Mandrake, I have no noticable slow down to burn a cd, download an ISO, use the ViaVoice and dictate a letter and allow the printer to be used from a differnet computer on the lan, as well as have about a dozen winows in Konq and six in Galeon. as well as backup the hard drive to a different computer. in win 2k burning a cd is about all it can do at one time. I used to see if I could do so many things that the box would slow down, but I have given that up in Mandrake, I just don't see a slowdown. in win ME I can burn a cd and surf the web at the same time, just can't burn a cd and render a video at the same time, but in Mandreake, while the render may take a little longer, there is none of the mouse freezing that win2k cann't get past.
