Thread: Double Pentium 2 install @ 515 MHz! CPU.

So you're believing to yourself, "self" you suppose... "why would Davo bother with a double Pentium II rig"? Well, as well running my ego ordering it can be done, SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) is the wave of the next!Sun, Alpha, SGI and lots other high end programs accept been behaving this for years with multithreaded operating systems. With the coming of Windows 2000 (word is it will be issued this year) the "WIntel" program will be impressing this path as well!

So soon we accept heard of Quake 3 Arena and Falcon 4 defend for SMP. So I inquire you, why play the MHz. game when you can only add some other CPU and gain your marching power exponentially? OK, so let's back off on the hype for a minute. We aren't rather there yet.Win2000 isn't out yet and apps and games that defend SMP are just now constituting declared for issue later this year. At this point it actually doesn't construct sense for the mean user.





Just people who are campaigning high end NT Servers and Linux hosts need apply for this instead of set up. Still, at approximately point this engineering will absolutely be a viable selection for the Home/Office User. We at Hot Hardware believed you would similar a glimpse of the next! Here are my findings.OK so it isn't pretty but you can aassure that it tells 2 CPUs and the clocks are constituting described as 522, which really was more accurately 515 MHz. each.

There aren't lots beneficial benchmark apps for WinNT or games for that subject. We attempted urgently to acquire Falcon four to work but to no avail. If anybody has any suggests on this, drop me a line! You are guessed to be able to campaign Falcon four under NT and it is multithreaded to boot!
