- This is a possibly quite silly idea that just occured to me, and I wondered
- how technically possible it was:-
-
- You can fit a PC on a card inside your arc so how possible would an ARC card be
- Ie giving you two processors, two main memories etc. This would have to work a
- little like the PC card does. ie each task loaded to
- the second processor would run in a window of the main processor, under the
- control of an application running on the main pro.
-
- How possible is it..it might be quite handy, double the memory, and the ability
- to farm out stuff that might hang the machine up for a bit (printing/archiving)
- to a second processor.
-
- Or should I just drink less cocoa before lunchtime?
