>> made any comment because it is implicit… << No James it is not implicit… its the wording Emanuel is using, that is confusing the issue here. PhotoShop is not a true multitasking paint program therefore it cannot take advantage of a dual processing system… yes it will run on NT with a dual processor but you can't make the assumption that just because a software can run on a multi proc that you can actually take advantage of it. QFX is a paint program which is true multi-tasking and can take advantage of dual processors. The point is, we don't know at this point whether 3DS will support dual processors or not, it may be assumed that it will run a dual board but taking advantage of it, is another story. For that answer you will have to wait a few more weeks… John
