Now that WinXP is out and will likely become the gaming platform of choice, how long do you think it will take before someone publishes a game that will make use of two CPUs?

I don't know, but I can't wait! I just got my system together, and would love to see some game take advantage of it =)

I don't know. Eventhough WinXP will be the gaming platform of choice and the most widely used OS that doesn't mean that more people are going to have multiple CPU pcs.

Well, as prices continue to fall, more and more will likely consider MP an option, especially if more and more software takes advantage of it.

More and more enthusiasts like us will, but I don't know if that would be enough for a company to try to implement it. I'm not sure how hard it is to program for dual cpus tho.
