    I've always been a little leary of them, since most companies (in my experience) don't test their code on a dual processor....maybe it's just another sign that I'm wacky

    I've never seen current software break on a dual system vs a single CPU system. The only issue has been drivers.

    Where do you work and do they need other C++ programmers ?

    Does any IDE take advantage of the SMP? Not many programs do? I do know Adobe Photoshop is written specifically to take advantage of SMP when detected.
