	Unless you are running an OS that supports SMP (ie; NT, Unix) your 
"feeling" of a performance gain is psychological. Additionally, you cannot just 
place another P54C into the secondary CPU socket when operating 90mHz CPU's. 
The second processor must be a P54CM which has a slightly different pin 
configuration to let the system know which one to use during a non-SMP session.
