Hello,

Has anyone tested Mach on a dual processor system ?  ???
How did or will it work out?

Hello,
thanks for the replies.
I'm gonna build a new system, specifically for Mach.
Since AMD has dropped its prices on the X2 athlon series, i was wondering if i should put in one of those?
I'm gonna have to decide in 2 weeks.
I've read some posts about dual processor systems but this where mostly older PIII systems.
I do have some budget, but to buy both types of processors would be a shame.
So if knowone convinces me otherwise I'm gonna stick to the single core.
It is just for future developments of Mach or other operating systems that I'm thinking about this, but it's probably a bit to soon.
(The machine it is driving however will gonna have to work for some years)

Greetz,
Kris.
