Many machines have more than one processor in them (including the desktop PC that I am writing this message from.) While this hasn't been terribly common in home computers in the past, there's nothing sacred about having a single CPU in a computer either. What limitations you choose to apply to contestants in a competition depend on what you are trying to test. Dave
