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.

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?
