AFAIK 2K and up are the only ones that support 2 or more cpu's.

Why would you want to use Win98 with a dual cpu box?
NT4 supports dual cpu, but I wouldn't go less than w2k.

Why use W98 ever, anyway, even with a single CPU? Unless it's a really old CPU I mean...

Windows 98 does not support dual CPUs peroid.
You can load 98 on a dual rig but only CPU 0 (or one CPU) will be seen and used.
In order to use 2 CPUs the windows OS choices AFAIK are:
2K, NT4, XP Pro

WuGgaRoO: What about Linux? Unless you intend to use the machine for Windows stuff.
