It's quite possible and fun to run a dual P3. As we all know the P3 was pretty much queen bitch of the universe. It had all the power you could slam in to a CPU or that size. 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.

You could run the setup with two stock fans, the P/S fan and a exhaust fan in the back. That's it. No modding to somehow fit 12 fans in your system.

anyway who doesn't replace their comp after a couple years??

That's an incredibly stupid blanket statement you made there, kid.

By default VDub launches 2 threads - one thread fetches the source, the other thread encodes it (and an optional third thread encodes audio). This is best illustrated when using AVISynth source as then the AVISynth process will run on one CPU and the VDub encoding thread will run on the other CPU. I've achieved 100% CPU utilization encoding AVISynth served to VDub.
BTW I'm running dual 700 P3's O/C'd to 933, have been for 2 years now.

Look I don't what you say, no smalltime home file server needs Quad Xeon!
