Based on an entirely new idea in computing, BeOS was designed to satisfy the higher processing and memory requirements of today's digital media on standard PC hardware, without slowing down or freezing up. Work with audio, video, image, and Internet-based applications, and edit files millions of gigabytes in size, simultaneously, in real-time. BeOS expands to meet your needs. Adding another processor can boost performance and productivity by nearly 100%. In fact, BeOS is the only operating system that takes full advantage of from one to eight processors -- automatically. No software reconfiguration needed!
