I hate to spoil the myth, but dual processors don't actually
double the speed of your system without software which can
make use of the process.
Before investing in such a beast, check with your software
manufacturer to see if their software is designed for dual
processor use.
You may find you are in for a few disappointments.

Hi Chi!!
You may want to consider upgrading your CPU to a duel core
processor. Duel core processors are chips that have 2
processors on one chip. For example, if you had a duel core
3 gig then, in actual fact, you would have 6 gig of
processing power.
Regarding the 64 bit version of Windows, Jaws or, CT don't
work on it at all. I am not sure if Jaws will ever be coded
for the 64 bit version of Windows Xp. They may get around
to coding it for vista though.
