No trying to bust your bubble, but... Try doing two packets at once, put seti in two different directories and run them both. Your packet time will go from 10 to like 15 hours each! a 66mhz FSB is not very practical for two proc's sharing the same bandwidth. I used the abit BP6 for about a month, its a unreliable piece of shit and I would recommend you RUSH it back to where you got it and get an RMA, quick!

I'm currently using a dual setup running Mandrake 7.0-2. During installation, it auto-detected both CPUs, installed the SMP kernel, and set it to the default.

As far as I know, Linux recognizes several processors. Paul Can anybody shed some light on how well it utilises SMP? There are several systems that claim supoort, but are there any benchmarks that prove that it's something that an average user should look into? I ask about it, because I just recently read an article hailing IBM's decision to announce yet another Linux boosting decision to ship some hardware with Caldera, RedHat and TurboL. and in a commentary by some IBM tech boss there was a line that they were reluctant to take this step because Linux allegedly was not a star when it comes to SMP. The article was about a week ago on WideOpen.com. or this was just a CEO-speak? TIA __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
RE: [newbie] A Dual CPU Computer
Yes, I am currently running SuSE 6.4 with dual P3 450's. After loading check to see that you are using the SMP Kernel.
