Bill, from my understanding this is application dependant. In other words the application has to be written to take advantage of dual processors, and Rbase is not written like this to get full use of the processors as far as just running one THREAD/application like RBase. We too have a dual processor system and I asked this question a good while back, and was told all this. If you are running another app that is taking all the processor in it's thread, and you start running rbase in another thread as far was what the server considers as two threads/apps running then it would use the second processor to run the app. Now, this is true in a Win environment. >From what I remember from a network guru is that Novell doesn't always take advantage of using dual processors though. This may be dependent on version of Novell though. We have used 3.12, 4.x and now 5.1 so I'm not sure where we stand on this exactly either.. Probably ought to check novell site for further info.
