Low cost processors, no need to initially purchase a compatible graphics card and low cost make things that bit more bearable.
The caveats that apply to all MagicTwin systems still apply here; Microsoft's charge for Windows XP and licensing restrictions for many apps on the Windows platform seem to nix the idea before it gets too far off the ground.
But with a bit of software shopping homework, there's value to be had from a MagicTwin setup." | | | | | | | | | Quote: | | | | | | | | | | | "Today we have the great pleasure of reviewing Soyo's latest Pentium 4 motherboard offering, the P4I875P Dragon 2 v1.0 Black Label.
