Intel's implementation of dual core (at least on > Pentium 4 and Xeon) is pretty much two CPUs in one package. Thanks. The specmac 'killer multi-media' benchmarks don't do me much good.
Its also an economic question: I can get a second 2.8GH Xeon processor for an upgrade price of $150, or pay $500 to upgrade to a dual Core. Might not sound like much, but with extra ram, etc, it can add up on lots of boxes. Now, I suppose a Dual Xeon, Dual Core would be best, (extra amavisd processes, extra mysql threads) but ram seems to help out a lot, especially when you mount the /var/amavis/tmp directory on a ram disk. That seems to help out more than raw cpu. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
