Hi:

I am about to purchase a win2003 server & am deciding on
wether I should purchase a multi processor machine.

My question is does the software running on the server
have to written to take advantage of the dual processors
or does the OS run everything / take advantage of the dual
processors on it's own.

The main applcation on the server is our billing software
MAS200 - almost all the number cruching is done on the
server w/ thinish clients atached.

Also what about Win200 Professional is it the same with
dual processors? Is it really worth getting a dual
prosseor machine.

Thank you for your time.
 
I would only get a multiproc system if the applications that you are
running are SMP compatible (Exchange, SQL, etc.)

IIS is also multi-threaded...

I personally cringe when real servers dont have more than 1 processor. I try
for 2 at the minimum. Your system will love you for it.
