Dual processors are still worth it. Because Windows has so many other things 'running' in the background, VFP will still be a bit faster because the system isn't interrupting it for all the other crap. Don't look at it as 'half the speed'; we're not trying for max CPU usage, we want our best app speed. Besides, VFP spends most of its time waiting for IO anyway.
