Yes, but your quad is a Pentium III Xeon.  The new "Xeons" are all based on the
Pentium 4 core; those are the only ones so far that seem to exhibit this
problem. (has anyone tried AMD?) I would hazard a guess that a 4-way P4 Xeon
would exhibit the same problem; unless a larger cache masks the problem.
