It's kind of an historical exercise. It also shows the contributions made by companies like Daystar. I think I have the first one-an Apple/ Daystar marked 180x2 604e. I think lowendmac has archived the Daystar and UMax stuff and there is some info on multiprocessors there. XLR8 Speed Control and Apple Profiler, etc. will acknowledge its presence.
Cinebench is a fun program which does recognize the multiprocessor and take advantage of it, showing the real gain. Other that that, I didn't really compare Photoshop filters w/ and w/o MPs. By Photoshop 5, 6 and 7, I am not sure there would be much gain?? Still, it's fun to see where the current emphasis and to some extent reliance on dual processors for the Mac platform and OS X all began. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
