&gt; &gt; Finally, hardware is cheap.  If you'd rather spend your time improving the gameplay

&gt; &gt; if you can afford it.  (Personally, I'm waiting for my dual K7-800's, although
&gt; &gt; I guess I shouldn't hold my breath on that one.)

&gt; Money isn't a serious issue, but the problem is that we have a
&gt; single-threaded server, so, unless I've been informed incorrectly, dual
&gt; processors won't help us.

Not in a big way, no.  You still get the advantage that your kernel and other
assorted daemons will run on one CPU, while the second will be completely
dedicated to the MUD.  I doubt that this will give you a signifigant impact
unless you have other big processes running on the same machine, such as a
web server.
