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.
