We have two Compaq SP750 with dual P3 Xeon running LM7.1. Have no problem
with any applications at all. As someone pointed out, unless the
application was written for SMP, it will run under SMP but no faster than
single CPU. We have dual CPU because these machines are intended to be
multi-user.

Andy
