If so whats special about it?? >Tony Yes it does. You must use 3.0-RELEASE. What is so special about it is that the OS loses very little when scaling. You will observe about 90 percent of the performance of that the paired CPUs can produce. This means a dual CPU machine will perform 1.9 times better than a single CPU machine. This is vastly better than NT. There may have been performance improvements since the last time I looked at this.
