Does Windows 98 support dual processors? I am thinking about running dual
Pentium 400s. Thanks in advance.

Maybe, maybe not.
On NT, the system distributes threads across processors. If you are
running a multithreaded application, or if you are running multiple
applications at once, multiple processors will definitely improve
overall performance.
If you only run one single-threaded app at a time, however, you won't
notice any change.
