In this article we finally elucidated several aspects of SMP. After two articles and over 100 hours of tests the result is clear: two processors didn't bring too much for home/office applications. In multitasking there is a little improvement so people which like to have the taskbar full of working applications should appreciate SMP. The true advantage of SMP is obvious in server tests. There are many factors which define a server performance, memory being vital. Dual processing brings a 50% improvement when we deal with on memory data. All my server tests took place under Suse Linux 7.0 but I think that under Windows NT or 2000 there is not difference. When the system needs to read from disk a SCSI system brings also a 30-40 improvement. MSI 694D Master-S is not a low cost motherboard, in Romania it costs over 300$ but from my point of view it offers a good start for a quality small office server. Things aren't perfect, a RAID SCSI system would have been indicated but this also increases costs because SCSI RAID controllers cost a lot
