RE: Re[2]: SMP dual CPU

[Carl Mikkelsen <cmm-at-alum.mit.edu>]

I run my CNC on a dual-CPU PII-Xeon system, although not with EMC.  I find 
that the second CPU is quite helpful for running MP3 decodes and listening 
to NPR-radio online while machining.

Maybe the dual CPU problem with rt linux is why I couldn't get it 
working/compiling last time I tried.  It's faded into distant memory, but I 
started out trying to use emc, but ran into some compilation problems with 
rtlinux, and didn't ever go back to try again.
