Comment:
Is there any reason at all for Windows 98 to run better with dual processors? I mean I know it doesn't utilize them both, but what happens when you do run with both? Also, do the processors in a dual system have to be the exact same to run in dual mode? thanks trey

Win9x/Me will ignore the second processor. For dual processors it is best to have a matching set. Speed/Cache, try to match the SL codes on the processor.
