Hard to say. 4 processor systems are lagging a bit (from Intel.) IE you can buy dual 3.06 xeons, but I haven't seen quad 3.0 xeons yet. I suspect that a 4-way opteron would be the fastest thing you could find, but I don't know about availability, pricing, or support (O/S, etc.) 8 processors in the intel world don't work very well. They are really two 4-way boxes tied together with some silicon glue, but memory (the single bus) becomes a real bottleneck). Eugene might have better data since he seems to have one of everything up at his microsoft office. :) > >Many thanks in advance. > >Kind regards > >Martin
