You need more information on the motherboard many have an ability to turn of
the second processor unit (it would work more than likely). The approach to
the bios is very different and I would look to the bios maker to see if it
can disable the two processor part or if they state it can be used. My
experience is that the motherboard needs to be matched to operating system
in multi-processor system even some that work with NT 4.0 (the ones I had to
convert) will not work with 2000 and (IMHO I wouldn't even try 98 or XP
Home). 2000, BSD and Linux have good reputations with multi-processor use. 

Good Luck,

Alan

Hi all,

I have an opportunity to get a dual processored computer that would replace
my old one.  My question is can Windows 98 be used on it and can I use all
my other programs on it?  I don't wanted to loose the ability to do all the
old things with this one.

Thanks,

Cameron Stoner
