If possible to make a jukebox of Pentium III linked with handshaking digital I/O cards in a multi-processors scheme for obtain high speed in a data acquisition system?

Since the NI-DAQ driver software is multithreaded, a multiprocessor system would have enhanced performance over a single processor system. Either way, you can have multiple handshaking digital I/O cards in a system for high speed acquisition, granted you have enough operating system resources (DMA, IRQ) for the cards.

You can find more information about this by going to the http://www.ni.com/support page and searching All Technical Resources for the keyword "multiprocessor". You will find an excellent NI Developer Zone presentation, as well as tutorials and other technical documents.
