Dual Athlon?????????

[Catchen22]

what do you use the dual athlon for? If I was a gaming person would I lean towards a dual athlon or just overclock a single one? Do athlons really make your computer alot faster? I don't run linux or anything like that. All I mostly do is internet and gaming. So would a dual athlon be in my future.

It depends on your os. 98 and earlier and ME do not support SMP. W2K and XP will however utilize both your processors.

Overclocking a single one for gaming will be your most cost effective route
