    If I remember correctly, when XP launched (seems like so long ago now...lol) some of the reasons why someone would want Pro vs. Home were if they (1) needed to log into a domain, (2) needed more networking options and/or (3) had dual processors... With the new Intel Core Duo's and Solo's, has this changed? My system recognizes the 2 separate cores in task manager... Does Home version now support multiple processors(i.e. Core Duo) or will the systems not get all the speed and multitasking benefits of having Pro? I have the new SZ120, but I see the SZ110 is identical, except with XP Home Edition... Does anyone know? Benchmarks anyone of SZ110 vs. SZ120? If the multiproc support is not integrated in Home Edition, are those that own the Core Duo's missing out on some performance? Thanks... Don

    BTW, I absolutely LOVE my SZ120...
