He was talking about the new Dual CPU systems. There's a BIG difference between that and two single systems. A dual processor system has 2 cpu's in one computer and is only useful if the OS supports this kind of setup. Win NT does, as do some others, but Dos and Win (even win4), the only things that 3ds will run under, do NOT support these new systems. There is a version of OS/2 that is supposed to support dual cpu's, but I highly doubt that 3ds under this version of OS/2 will be able to take advantage of this. Of course, there is talk now of the upcoming Render Garden, etc… We'll have to see how that takes shape. David
