DSL Tips and Tricks :: Dual Processors

I am new to DSL, I have it installed and running very well on an old P166mhz. It has brought to life to my old system.

I have a question though. I have a Dell Poweredge 2300 with 1GB of ram and 3 SCSI HD's and 2 PII 450MHZ CPU's in it. Currently it has WIN2K on it, but I am so impressed it DSL, I would rather have DSL on it.

Can DSL support 2 CPU's?

Thanks

It runs on my Dual Opteron Tyan board as if there were two computers running at the same time.

Not sure what you meant?

Can you explain more?

When you first boot, you see two little penguins. Then it goes through it's normal hardware detection process, and detects the two processors. I'm not sure how each individual application uses them, or if they don't, but the thing is so fast, and DSL so light anyway, who cares? (unless you have a specific application, of course).

I see what you are saying...

So DSL does support to CPU's... That is great!

Yeah I know it is fast, if it can make my P166mhz run well, it will be smoking fast on that dual 450mhz... I plan on running it totally out of ram...

So you don't know if you can assign IE CPU-A to process something and assign CPU-B to process something else?

Just curious...
