It's main function is to reduce the wear-'n-tear on the processors buy splitting the operations up into separate functions, and having each function performed by a different processor (alittle more in-depth than that, but I'm on a time limit here.) There fore you will see, AT MOST a 1 1/2 CPU time increase. So really unless U plan on torturing your system that much I would say don't even bother. Especially when dealing w/ Pentiums. P4 dual CPU motherboards run about $800 for a good one. And p3's are a pain in the ass. Also unless you are running Win 2k, or XP pro you won't be able to utilize both CPU's.

Why are PIII's a pain in the ass???

think he means dual p3s since p3s (even p3 Xeons) aren't made for dual processing. p4s are made for dual processing (and btw they will never make a add on that can make your pc dual cuz the motherboard has to have a bunch of extra features to support it, it's impossible till they can make a pc on a chip)

Realistically the best Processor ever! But pain is the price of the CPU's and motherboard. As well as cooling. A majority of cases now a days are far too small to properly support the kind of air space needed for a dual P3 board. You have to do massive crinos case mods just to fit enough fans. The if you plan on doing a dual P3 really you shouldn't use anything less than RDRAM. So really with the current technology your better off with and MP system.
