It is worth it.. but you have to have the necessary applications to use it

So maybe the major use of Dual-proc. setups is for dumbasses like myself who thought it would double my processing power... I didnt buy a dual-proc system, but i`ve wanted to.
PLus, it sounds good when you`re talking to people who dont know anything about computers... heh.
Have seen pics of the dual-graphics card set-ups on the new mobos that are comin out with PCI express an all that jazz. Looks very VERY sexy, i`ll be honest. I wish they`d made the new backwards compatible so we dont have to ditch our mobo, proc, graphics, memory and PCI cards. But... such is "evolution" and theres more £££/$$$ in it for the major companies that way. Ah well..
