Remember that Mac OS X, with its support for computers with more than one processor chip, was still in development and Mac OS 9 was still king.
The test will come this summer, when AMD launches its four-processor Barcelona chip.
Both Intel and AMD are committed to multi-core processors, that is more than one processor in a chip.

Duron is AMD's first processor for budget PCs that takes advantage of an advanced chip design, or "microarchitecture, " that was unveiled last year for its higher-performance Athlon processor.
However, the trade-off is that at present each chip is a less powerful processor than x86-based products on the market.
Intel has had difficulty keeping up with demand for its higher speed Pentium IIIs, particularly its Coppermine processor, a 733 MHz Pentium III chip.
At the core of the chip is what Intel calls a Rapid Execution Engine, an enhancement that allows the core of the processor to operate at twice the frequency than the rest of the chip, Yu said.
The Pentium III is essentially a Pentium II processor, with the same 512KB off-chip secondary cache and 100-MHz system bus.
As well as the main processor, the new system includes a second chip, the SM35, to handle various input and output functions such as USB and audio.
As well as being one of the world's largest chipset manufacturers, Via also happens to be an emerging player in the PC processor market, with its own Cyrix III chip.
In addition, Fujitsu (otc: FJTSY - news - people ) has designed its own chip set working with the Intel processor to raise performance and reliability for both 32-bit and 64-bit computing, Itanium's specialty.
Intel turned off most of the cores to increase the speed to 4.3 GHz, although the processor was commonly referred to as a 5 GHz chip.

Instead of building an even more complicated x86-compatible processor, the firm has created an entirely new chip of its own that is specifically designed to execute micro-ops quickly and efficiently.
Intel's new processor, called Intel Media Processor 3100, will be built around the same chip design used in most of the world's PCs and servers, and it will support high-definition video, high-end audio and 3-D graphics.
We happened to see it in person at a CES-related event here in Vegas, and our quick assessment is that the screen is responsive, and the design chintzy. (Just look at that tacky plastic.) In addition to that 1080p display, it packs a 1.7GHz quad-core Tegra 3 chip along with a TI multicore OMAP processor.

FORBES: Question of the Day: Why Does HP Continue to Screw Up?
AMD, the computer-chip maker, announced on Tuesday that its processor called "Bulldozer" had broken the Guinness World Record for processing at a frequency of 8.429 gigahertz, which is about three times as fast as the processors you'd find in a speedy laptop.
HP's newest 11.6-inch not-quite-a-netbook (or a notbook as we like to call it) is the first Fusion system to hit the market, and with a dual-core 1.6GHz E350 Zacate processor and AMD Radeon HD 6310 GPU on the same chip it promises... well, everything AMD has promised for so long.
