I cheated and used 2 XP 1600+ on the Tiger MP. I absolutely love it. A beauty:
1) Windowmaker .7x with three virtual windows.
2) I had Netscape6 running in one,
3) Netscape4.7x running in another,
4) and 4 xterms (3 compiling different kde packages, one running top),
5) have 256meg of ram
6) and was using 40megs of swap
7) and had a system load of 3.5,
8) and both cpus plugged at 0.0% idle
9) AND LET ME TELL YA: switching from desktop to desktop an running other apps and doing what ever, WAS SMOOTH AS SILK. You would not even know that I had 3 compiles going in the background.
