Any PIII or P4 can be 'dualed' on a mainboard, 
it's the software that must be multi-threaded, 
including the OS.

It's not the inches, it's the pixels-per-inch, which
is true resolution. Dimensions are not true reso-
lution but it has to do with it. You could have an 
image @ 1600x1200x300ppi or 1600x1200x72
ppi...

I just rendered Steve Pigon's 'information rods'
.POV set, 72ppi @ 800x600 AA 0.3 and it took
over one hour on my PIII 933/512pc133 old box.
