Hi, I have a DELL Precision Workstaion 420 with a P3 933mhz FSB133mhz with 768mb of rambus and scsi hd. My board can have 2 processor (DUAL) but, I only have one. As you can guess, that would be a great machine if I could have 2 processor. I REALLY WANT 2 933mhz IN THIS COMPUTER BUT I CANT FIND ONE... H E L P M E Here is the problem... this is a P3 933mhz (you already know that but...) _- S L O T 1 -_ huh... where can I find a second SLOT 1 P3 processor?????????? If you can help, any idea??, plz, tell me.

www.spartantech.com carries them at a premium. Make sure you get one that matches your current processor though.

I don't think you'll see much of a gain in going with a 2nd processor, unless you have an actual need. Otherwise, it's just a waste of money... I clipped this from phoenix360.com: "In order to take advantage of dual processors, you must have an operating system and more importantly, an application that can address both processors. Without both of these elements you simply have some expensive hardware that will only impress the few that will ever see your computer with its cover off! Think of it as having two Blackjack dealers in a casino that only has one table. Two dealers at the same table trying to deal for the same game would be a complete waste of resources and would have no affect on how fast the game was played. If the casino had multiple tables, it could take advantage of multiple dealers dealing multiple games. In fact, you could have the second dealer dealing a completely different game (or different application in the case of a computer) without affecting the first dealer's performance. In the Microsoft family of operating systems, you must be running Windows NT, 2000 or XP Professional in order to take advantage of dual processors. If you are running Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME or XP Home Edition don't bother, since none of them will even know that the second processor exists. A common use for a dual processor based computer is as a network server that is running an advanced database applications such as SQL (geek speak for Structured Query Language) or as a large e-mail server for thousands of users. Other applications that can make use of dual processors include Computer-Aided Design (CAD) or 3D animation programs since they need tons of processing power to 'render' the intense drawings associated with these types of applications. Word processing, image or photo manipulation, checking e-mail, surfing the web or any of the common tasks that the average user participates in will gain no real benefit by a second processor."

However, if that's what you wanna do, check pricewatch.com for a CPU....or eBay.

Hi, ty all for your advices. I really want this second processor because my video card is a dual head quadro2 PRO 64meg And I want this computer to be my server (application server of game server, not sure and I don't know wich one that computer could support best) This computer was originaly build for 3d animation but I thought that it would be a good thing to morph it into a w2k adv serv. At worst... maybe it will only be my second comp for my friend who want to do some lan gaming. (got to change the video card in this case... but still interesting) well, if you have anything else to had, go for it! ty again
