Dual pentium motherboard

[nilsA]

One of my PC's have a dual Pentium (as in two separate, not dual core.)

Win 2000 supports this - sort of: If the program is written for it, then ... but so few are.

How about Kubuntu? I've tried searching, but all I find is regarding dual core processors.

Will Kubuntu utilize this motherboard to the full?

Try the LiveCD. Find out.

Did that. But the Ksyslog don't show two CPU's, like Windows, so I really don't know.

Which kernel does the LiveCD boot? If possible, try the -generic kernel. That seems to fix a lot of multi-processor issues.

If you've got an extra drive just lying around, you could do a full install and find out...

Found it:

[me@kubuntu]# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l

Kubuntu sees both processors.

Cool.

I think KMenu>System>Kinfocenter will show both CPUs, as well, if you click the correct hardware menu.

Hm ... if I scroll down it does - processor 0 and 1.
