I don't have any experience with dual core yet (my first dual dual
core box is scheduled to arrive this week!!). I don't think I'd opt

see an advantage in 2 DC over 2 SC.
As far as SCSI over SATA goes, I exclusively use SATA. I

need to be

them.
My current client's application involves a very large amount of data which I
