Dual CPU, pengene værd?

Her er hvad de skriver:
A couple of years ago computers with more than one CPU were high-end workstations and servers with a price tag far beyond what any customer would be willing to spend on a computer; today a dual CPU system is affordable and clearly starting to gain in popularity. This popularity and the rise of dual CPU systems in the consumer market can be attributed to a number of factors; one of them is the success of the dual Celeron a few years ago; when dual Intel Celerons were very popular and caused for heated discussion because Celerons weren?t officially validated to work in a SMP system. Nevertheless these dual Celerons offered performance on par with more expensive dual Pentium III systems. Secondly, with the success of the AMD Athlon, AMD quickly realized that they too needed a SMP capable chipset to be able to compete in the workstation and server markets. As a result the AMD 760 MP was the first AMD SMP chipset meant to claim part of the SMP market that before had exclusively been Intel?s. Shortly after the introduction it became clear that the consumer market welcomed the 760 MP with lots of enthusiasm and many people upgraded from the aging Pentium III architecture.
