@tinker I went the other way (K6-2 550MHz). Given the state of multiprocessing at the time getting much out of those dual i686 builds was hard.

@AMS @tinker I assume you had to manually assign individual processes to the second CPU, otherwise it would run on just a single one?

This is *just* too early for me, this board was new when I was 4. :')

@Natanox @tinker I don't really know. I didn't have multicore (or multi-thread) myself until much later. I just remember reading at the time that Win9x / ME couldn't handle it. I was fully converted to linux by the time I got a multicore system so didn't care at that point.
