than
dual single core as of the moment...
but PC hardware won't survive the loss of a CPU.
i dont know with pc hardware unlike with server hardaware, it will continue
if one cpu fails... but for pc hardware... you can shutdown and remove the
failing cpu and back online again... in short... uptime is much better than
a single dual core processor...
can Linux on other architectures handle that?
im not really sure migs.. i havent read the code of its smp thing...
