1. Photoshop is multithreaded and runs fine on two processors.
2. Upgrading to a multi CPU environment requires the reinstallation of
the HAL in Windows, takes about 30 minutes.

TB,
In order for any application that runs under windows (like Photoshop) to
take advantage of a second processor in that system, the application in
question must have been designed in the first place to support
multiprocessors (ie, a multi-thread application). As far as I know,
Photoshop (at least on the PC platform) is not a multi-thread
application,
and can therefore not take advantage of a second processor, even of one
is
present in the system.
Also, with earlier versions of Windows 2000 that I have worked with, if
one
starts out with a single processor system, and at some later date, a
second
processor is added, one must RE-INSTALL the OS in order for the
operating
system to recognize the presents of the second processor. I don't know
about
you, but re-installing Windows 2000 is not my idea of a fun day at the
beach. Having said this, I'm not sure if the current versions of WIndows
2000 have this feature. Might check the Microsoft knowledge base to make
sure.
Best Regards,
David R. Spielman

Oh, yes. I'm running two monitors on that XP PRO system. One other
item,
XP PRO has dual processor capability. You may or may not care about
that.
At some point, however, I intend to upgrade to dual processors. That's
the
main reason I chose XP PRO over XP HOME for the PS machine. There
doesn't
seem to be any difference in the performance of the two operating
systems,
however.
