Adding a second CPU when running Win98, won't do anything for you. That OS is not dual capable. If you use Windows 2000/XP, BeOS, Linux, Solaris, or FreeBSD; these operating systems will take advantage of the second processor. It does give the system more processing power to run your various tasks.

True! And if the program doesn't use both processors natively the OS will assign most of the kernel requests to one processor and the app will have the other processor all to itself.
