The dual processor part is handled in the kernel. I have a dual PII
266 Mhz which I am very happy with. Linux does a great job handling the
two processors equally. I have done tests and my dual PII 266 goes
about as fast as a PII 450 Mhz single. Part of that might be because I
am using an IDE drive and a 33 Mhz mother board. Other than that I have
been very happy with the performance especialy when it comes to doing
graphics manipulation.
