I don't rightly understand. You plan on building a dual athlonXP system?

I think he means dual mp system. Tho there are some boards that will let you put xp cpus in an mp board its not reccomended.

on the other hand what do you want a dual cpu system for?

 

[Testin da Cable]

for kicks. I have two

What extra gain would you get from duel CPU's ? From my understanding they're only useful for heavy load server which have a huge CPU load? It won't actually make it faster as such for a single workstation surely ?

 

[Testin da Cable]

oh, I'd say about 15% possible gain

well that was the idear ????

dam it ........looks like i got the wrong end of the stick again

i was thinking that the below would b faster if i was 2 use a twin CPU set up ????
i use my pc 4 putting up various game server , video editing and encoding, art editing and the normall stuff .......surfing downloading burning cd

so a twin CPU system is not worth it then ????

nope

and you limit yourself on motherboards etc

if you want the most bang for your buck get nForce2 and XP2700/2800
