I am using a SuperMicro motherboard with Dual Pentium PROS and am able
to boot (Using the NT 4.0 boot selector) from NT 4.0 Workstation
which does use both of the processors ot to Win95 Rev A or to WIN95
SR2, both of the WIN95 version will run just fine, but they do not use
the dual processors, they do however run OK, so you can go ahead and
install two processors, if you it DOES RUN but you gain nothing from
have the second processor installed.

Write your reply.

Windows CE is yet another variation on the Windows 32 programming interface
(API), in this case, optimized for use on small computers often with severe
memory constraints, and lacking standard drives.
CE works with several CPUs, from a variety of manufacturers.
CE 1.0/1.1 was only available on a series of Handheld PCs (HPCs) from
various manufacturers: Casio, Compaq, NEC, Phillips, Hitachi, etc. These
typically offered 2-8 megs RAM, a small keyboard, a stylus pointing device,
and 480x240 or 640 x 240 grey-scale video. The operating system and a
series of Microsoft applications are stored in ROM, while additional
applications and data are stored in RAM.
CE 2.0 adds colour support, pocket Internet Explorer in ROM, some interface
improvements. CE 2.0 devices include HPCs similar to the CE 1.0 devices,
and a series of keyboard-less Palm PC devices similar to the Palm Pilot. A
CE device for use in automobiles (built-into the dashboard) has been
demoed.
There has been some discussion of Microsoft making CE the basis for a
network-computer device.

I haven't paid much attention to handheld stuff since the Apple Newton came
out some years back. My impression of the Newton was "why do I want to pay
the price of a full size desktop PC for something that doesn't do anything I
can't do with a .99 cent spiral bound mini-notebook?"
I have seen some handheld devices for inventory and data-acquisition that are
pretty slick; but they weren't cheap.......on heck of a bargain compared to
the labor costs they saved though.....
I suspect general purpose PDA's will go the way of the dinosaur as their
functionality gets built into other items (automobile, cell phone,
wristwatch, etc.....)
