Okay, I made an ass of myself with responding to this one :-) I just
read quad pentium and didn't stop to let it sink in that he was talking
about reeaaalllly slow old pentiums vs new hyperthreading CPU. Doh!!
I'll try and save a little face by retractng my original answer and
rephrasing it that SMP servers are always better than single CPU servers
_when_ the CPU speed is nearly matched between the machines you're
comparing. That's what I meant to say - and in future I'll wear bigger
boots so I can keep my foot out of my mouth ;-)
