Dual cpu on Tyan Thunder K7X Pro with tons of ram...now what

[giligan]

Hello all,
I got a Tyan Thunder K7X Pro motherboard at a yard sale this weekend. No I did'nt need it but it had two Athlon MP 2200's and 4 gig of ecc ram for $30 bucks. With all the extra parts I have at home I can build a new system...I do need to buy another copy of windows but thats ok.
Here is my question: What is a dual cpu computer good for in a home. I understand that not all sortware will take advantage of dual cpu's so...what does. I'm just looking for something to kill some time with.
Thanks
Giligan

With the popularity of dual-core CPUs in the market, most applications will have or already have the support for multi-processor.

Ahhh..
So software is going to use 2 cpu's the the same as 1 dual core cpu?

Since you got it for 30$ i´d sell it on ebay. It will fetch you some nice money, especially considering current RAM prices. 8O


Then you could buy a computer. A real computer i mean.
