A quad core CPU still wouldn't address those issues. I would rather go dual single SMP, than single dual core. The multi-core CPUs don't have the same raw processing power as an equivalent real SMP system. Obviously, if I can get a rel SMP system with multi-core CPUs, that's better. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
