Hi Howard & All, I'm in a similar predicament, albeit not so urgent. I'm looking at APPRO (http://appro.com/) 1RU dual Athlon servers. (Available from Emagen (http://emagen.com.au/) for purchases in Australia). My Zope installations typically use external processes like MySQL, HTMLDOC, apache/ssl, sendmail, etc., so the second CPU is useful as overflow in crunch situations. -- David Hart Atlantis Blue Pty Ltd On Sun, 2002-09-15 at 17:22, Howard Hansen wrote: [snip] From recent discussions, it appears that Zope doesn't benefit much from a dual processor system, but it does benefit from higher clock rates and more RAM. So should I invest in a faster single-proc system with a couple of gigs of RAM, or go with a slower dual-proc box?
