It was an XP mobo under the dual mobo section. Are you sure you need MP's? What happens when you use XP's? >And that's not REGISTERED memory. ALL Athlon MP mobo's MUST have registered >memory. And as another poster said, I'll need a more expensive power supply, and better cooling. So apparently there was more here than I had first anticipated (which I did anticipate). Maybe I'll spend my money on a better single cpu machine and avoid all of the added costs involved in dual cpu stuff. It seems that there is quite a bit more than goes into it, not to mention more money. Or maybe I'll get a laptop, or one of those nifty little palm PC things. I suppose the only thing that I'd use a dual cpu computer for is testing out my program against others, and I could do that with my single CPU machine with somewhat decent accuracy, and then there is ICC of course. The other option is to run a match between two separate computers. Any idea how that would work? Is there any software to run a match or a game between two engine's on two different computers? Another possibility is to get a dual machine of lower speed, which would still allow for engine vs. engine matches on the same machine and adding dual cpu support later on and testing it. A lot to consider I guess. Thanks for your help anyway. Russell
