AS, the thing is, no P4 will work on a dual-processor motherboard. Simply not designed for that. I talked to an Intel guy last year and he said they didn't intend to create a P4 multiprocessor m/b. And do not impugn PIII that easily. :-) A friend of mine has a computer editing suite on a dual PII machine. It does editing on the fly, although effects do take time to render, but not much. A couple of minutes for 5-10 seconds of an effect like colour correction. That's 5-10 times 25 frames of 720x576.
