No problem, it just uses one CPU/core. Nothing more, nothing less .

.

Correct- As far as the OS in concerned there is only one CPU. It simply doesn't "see" the other.

For my project, Win98 was standard with a second OS available via dual boot.

hmm thanx for that info, then I can finally think of creating and building a dual AMD AthlonMP 2200+ - 2800+ dunno what CPU is available just have to ask around for that Wink

This system will get a nice Tyan Tiger MPX mobo and as total upgrade from this AthlonXP 2700+ I am using now, it should be able to run modern things alot better too.
Win98SE is very helpfull when flashing 3dfx cards which I learned from you Gary Wink

I wish you all the best with your project Gary Wink

I was going to use it for a "on all the time" print server and downloading machine but my torrent software doesn't seem to like it for some reason.

It has a teeny memory footprint and will run on just about anything! Only problem... An error message that won't go away... "Cannot save resume file, some data may be lost" Even though the error is CLEARLY a load of bollox - as it keeps on downloading anyhow!

Gary, on those old quatum drives, just letting you know, at my old work of about 3000 pc's, we had about half running on those things, most of them Win NT and were the 4 gig config's but at any rate, about half of those, roughly around 750 pc's we ended up replacing the drives on because of, and I might be wrong on what chip it is, NEC chip. I don't have one in front of me to tell. Just thought I'd let you know. If you plan on using this thing all the time, get a different drive. On some of those case, you could take the whole circuit board off of one hard drive and slap it on another drive and have it come back up but it had to be the exact same size with the exact same revision on the board. You'll notice it pops because you can actually hear it and it smells up the whole room.

Just thought I'd let you know. Looks like it's a 20 gig drive? Might not have a problem with it, most of the ones that did this were in the 4.2 to 10 gig range so just keep an image of it updated regularly.

Well this project requires this P.N. drive, I could have something else in another drive shuttle just in case..

Yes, a 20 gig, easy to keep the ghost image about in case something goes bad and I have to find another.
