Hmmm…all I can tell ya Jeff, is my copy of NTAS documented the 4 processor
support. I'm sure there could be (and will be) much more to it, though.
Your comment regarding the amount of increase in computing speed and power with
more than one processor is correct (although I'm not sure why you mentioned it,
as this issue wasn't part of the original thread). As the CPU of a PC depends
on many resources in the computer to operate, the CPUs in multi-processor
machines will have to share these resources, making a 100% jump in performance
per processor impossible no matter how the app is coded.
However, as things shake out here in the next year or so, it sure would be
great to vastly improve the performance of your machine merely by adding
another (hopefully fairly in-expensive by then) processor!
On to the future…<g> (that's a grin 'cause it looks bright!)
