"There are a mere handful of multi-threaded applications
(i.e. CAD) capable of using dual Intel cpu's. If you run
garden-variety PC applications (i.e. Microsofty Word, Excel, etc)
on, say, a dual 500 mhz system, you can expect to get something
like the throughput associated with a single 500 mhz cpu system."
Maybe Mr. Coleman had already discovered this. Maybe he hadn't.
Cheers,
David
