I was wondering if it will take benefit of all the SMP improvement of 7 or is it too old? It runs a few postgresql databases, peak loads in the 2 to 4 range. As I do not have another equivalent machine, I prefer to ask before trying myself. I quite happy with the performances of my laptop (centrino duo) under 7, and hope my old server will be as happy as my laptop. thanks in advance, -- MaXX
