This is something to sit back and savor - currently, there are dual-CPU boards for the Intel Pentium III that are available for as little as $110. These boards run two processors with the same clock speed simultaneously and seriously step up the pace to the tune of up to 80 percent. But what's going on in the market? Although retailers generally only have a few dual boards on stock, they end up gathering dust on the shelf. In a word, these boards sell like hamburgers at a vegan festival. The lack of interest in these twin solutions in the end-customer market is incomprehensible. After all, Pentium III dual boards are virtually made to permit an inexpensive entry for simple workstations. However, there are some requirements to be met that don't apply to every user.
