As alway, "it depends". If you compile code (i.e., software development) on a regular basis, two CPUs is definately worth it. The same applies to CAD and scientific analysis. If you run emulators like Wine, Win4Lin, or VMware, multiple CPUs is definately worth it. If you do a lot of mutli-tasking where jobs execute in the background, two CPUs might be worth it. If all you do is browse the web, than you can get by pretty well with a 300 MHz K6 and 128 MB of RAM. :-) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
