Of course, but it also means 8 HE rack space, 16 power cables, 8 switch ports etc. It also means 8 systems to backup, to install and to administrate. We are trying to find a configuration between n-one cpu servers and 1 n-cpu server which is best from the manageability point of view and has optimal tco. Personally I don't believe that anything with more than 2 cpu's will ever pay out, but we have to test it :-) regards > > Filip > > Leon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
