This is a bit off topic but since you brought up dual processor configs . . . Since Vue does utilize dual processors during rendering, that is the way to go in my opinion. Check out the database in the Yahoo Vue Group. A dual P3 at 1 GHz is roughly equal to a single 1.5 Ghz P4. Dual AMD XP chips at 1.47 Ghz (XP 1700) are about 3 times faster than a single 1.5 GHz P4 . . .
