Quick question for you: what was the hubbub about both
my Genny with the CD add-on and my Saturn with "dual
processors"?  I thought the CD had its own processor. 
EGM did a quick write-up on (I believe) Nobunaga's
Ambition, claiming that the computer AI made its
decisions almost instantly because of the two
processors.  I also recall reading articles that
developers hated working with the Saturn's dual main
processors.  The implication of the articles was that
they worked in tandem, you couldn't use just one.
