You are probably right about the programs but I guess it is at least one more "computer-generation" before "ordinary" people buy duals. So far it is only people like you and me that have half a room filled with computers entirely filled with chessprograms and an old Pentium 200 with Word and Excel! One idea is of course to choose P3 800 or up and use a dual P3 for the above programs and a single P3 for all other programs. Bertil
