Subject: Buy Junior 6 single processor or Junior 6 multiprocessor

I'll probably buy Junior 6, being the addict that I am.

The issue to me is whether to buy the single processor or multi-processor
version. I understand that the multiprocessor version slows down on a single
processor board.

Thing is, how much? Either way, it's going to destory me, so what do I care if
my destruction is a little faster or slower.

That means, then, that the only thing that would concern me would be the
difference between the two versions in their ability to analyze games. If the
slowdown is 10%, I could live with that. But if the quality of analysis is
effected, maybe I'd like the single processor version better.

Then, there's the fact that when Windows2000 gets here...multiprocessor boards
are going to become more common, I would think. I can see myself finally forking
over the money for that Abit two processor board with the 500 megahertz
Celerons. I'm sure other products like the Abit board will come along, and it
sure would be nice to have J6 multiprocessor there ready to take advantage of
it, rather than have to buy it again, and thereby own J6 single and
multiprocessor versions.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
