The 66 Mhz machines are actually running 2 >33 Mhz chips, and the 50 Mhz machines are running a single 50 Mhz chip. Oh, good grief. Either you didn't hear right or someone is full of ... . A DX66-2 uses external clocking at 33Mhz, while operating internally at 66Mhz. I assure you, that if you see only one DX66 in your box you only have one cpu. >Software developers could take advantage of the double chips, but most don't, >so software ends up running at the speed of the single chip--33 or 50 Mhz-- >depending on your machine.
