This makes sense; however, do you know of any of the newer (Super7)
motherboards that support 2 or more sockets AND support 100 MHz bus speed
(for faster RAM, etc)?

Also, which would be better: dual PII-450 or quad PP200 ?  I am under the
impression that an SMP board does not give 100% additional CPU throughput
for each additional CPU but rather an additional 20 or 30% extra.
