On-topic it is. :-)
I've recently been wondering about multiprocessor boards-- how on 
earth would a guy code for them?  Does each processor have it's own 
RAM, or do they share a common spool in some fashion?
Saw an article the other day that implied future upgrades to a PC 
will involve adding more processors. Your next desktop would have the
potential to become a supercomputer using off-the-shelf (Intel?)
components.
