My impression of the TS2000i with more than one processor is that it didn't
have to be designed with multiple processors in mind. The processors just
shre the tasks that appear on the bus. I am no processor expert, however,
but my dual P does scream compared to the AMD 333 that I was running Win98
on. Someday I'll run a benchmark with two and then just remove one.
