We were recently given a computer (we unstuck the cpu fan) with two Socket 
8 and one Pentium Pro Overdrive 200MHz cpu in it, and a dead board (due to 
battery corrosion) a while back with a matching cpu.  I read that you need 
smp.i kernel (Sw71 has it) to use both cpus at something between 200 and 
400MB.  Is the kernel all we need?

The computer also came with a Matrox video card that has two VGA outputs - 
is this something we would set up to use with X and a virtual window (the 
window would be spread across both monitors somehow).  Can BL2 handle this 
and if so how?
