The old RT patch would either refuse to run at all on a dual CPU or 
would only
use one of them.  I don't know if that is still true.  Why do you need 
this?  The modern
CPUs, 800 MHz and above, are vastly faster than anyone needs for CNC 
control.
Even a single 466 MHz system would be fine for almost anything, even 
software
generated step pulses.
