depends whether the load is cpu- or i/o-caused, in the former case you would be better off with a dual-processor machine, in the latter case you should probably spend your money in some celeron/amd/whatever cheap cpu and higher-performance peripherals (harddisk, scsi, maybe disk-striping...) hth, &rw -- -- +++ EUnet/[EMAIL PROTECTED], 15.-17.2.'2k, Ebene02/Stand08 +++ ----- ___ - Robert Waldner EUnet/AT tech staff ---- / / / ___ ____ _/_ -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RW960-RIPE --- /--- / / / / /___/ / --- ---EUnet EDV-DienstleistungsgesmbH--- -- /___ /___/ / / /___ /_ ---- Diefenbachgasse 35 A-1150 Wien - ----- Tel: +43 1 89933 Fax: +43 1 89933 533
