- Like many people, I have been considering getting
- a 386 box just to be able to use mach (and UNIX and DOS).
- So I keep checking the prices on the latest fast 486
- machines.
-
- But wait a minute, isn't the point of mach supposed
- to be that it is meant for a multiple processor
- machine? So instead of getting a fast 486, shouldn't
- I get a cheap 386 that has more than one CPU in it
- and get more than the performance of a fast 486?
-
- So my questions are:
- 1. Does Mach support more than one processor on a 386?
-
- 2. Are there any cheap (or reasonable) machines for
- sale that can be configured with more than
- one CPU?
-
- Thanks for an info,
- Brian Beuning
