This is probably in the release notes which I have not gone through, but I will risk the question, anyway.  Does MorphOS support dual CPUs?

No, Dual CPU's are not supported by MorphOS2.6.

On a thread related note, I will have three 1.25 G4 PowerMacs for sale at the AmiWest 2010 Show in less than two weeks, with MorphOS2.6 installed on them (not yet registered, that task is for the buyers to do).  One of the three will be available by raffle ticket purchase, $5 for one ticket, or $20 for 5 tickets.  

So, come to the AmiWest 2010 Show and have a chance to get a nice MorphOS capable computer for as little as $5!  How can you NOT come to the show now?!?  This is in addition to the other prizes that will be given to the winners of the Amiga Game Competition ($5 entrance fee, Grand Prize = 1.25GHz G4 eMac w/MorphOS2.6 registration key donated by the MorphOS Dev. Team) and the usual raffle prizes given out by the SACC.

Don't miss this show, already confirmed to be the largest AmiWest Show ever!

Are dual CPU's planned for the future then?

Sure, in release 6.94 around February of the year 2065. :lol:

(Some comments have been made by certain Team members stating that it cannot be done and other Team members have stated that some kind of "work around" might be possible some day to use the second CPU, but it will not be the same as SMP.  So, don't hold your breath for any kind of support for multiple CPU's in MorphOS, but if it happens, be happy.)
