Don't. It's a dog-easy update to switch to the multi-processor kernel when the time comes (uptomp.exe is the utility included with Windows, I think) but there's no parallel simplicity to switching from the multi- to the single processor kernel. THAT's where the dummy CPU chips come into play. I've got a couple of them around to fill the slot in case I have a CPU failure and no handy replacement. So far, no need... If the dummy chip is good enough to fake the system into thinking it has two actual processors, I would expect the system to allocate some resources to it too. Short term, while replacing a CPU, that's okay, but long term I'd say it's nothin' but a waste. IMHO, of course. I'd love to hear, from John or anyone else, why I'm wrong or it doesn't matter. -- Dave Salovesh RAM Associates, Inc.
