I'd agree with this, but since I mostly live on dual systems I'd just like to say that you _know_ you're on a dual box when you do a lot of stuff. :-) it's very nice to be able to emerge world, watch a movie, surf with galeon, read news over ssh and never ever feel latency or skipping anywhere -- on a dual 450Mhz. the worst culprit is actually flash, which I need to have installed for a few really annoying reasons. a single 600Mhz I have doesn't yield the same carefree environment, even though it runs 2.5.7* with all the trimmings. if you're just doing audio, a single CPU will be fine. if you're planning on a couple of other CPU-intensive things at the same time, well, look at your wallet and decide. :-) -- Terje -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
