"Building a new PC...."

.... I've been hearing a lot about this 'duel processor' business, and was just wondering if its worth looking into further???

I intend to put a new PC together, rather than buy a pre-built one. I intend this new PC to be the main one I use for Image manipulation, Web Page Serving and possibly Video editing, so its gonna need to be a pretty snazzy piece of kit.

Would you think duel processors would be good here?

and if so, do you know of any good companies where I can get hold of duel processor motherboards??

Thanks

DuAl processors are good if your software can utillise multithreading - somehting which may be doubtful. Either way I reckon it'd probably be overkill but it's *really* up to you.

I would recommend you a Pentium system if you plan to do DVI, even though I'd never have one myself ;-)
