Since you'll be running Scan for considerable time each
night and each instance of AB could only utilise 1/2 of the core. ie 50% of the
cpu power. That means 50% is available for other use.
I have recently purchased an E6600 myself. and have
the thought of using the surplus 50% for something else, either for use by other
members of the family, or run aother instance of IO. The most convenient way for
me is to have available multiple concurrent users. For example, My kids can be
using the PC for music, email and stuff and I logged in with remote terminal
access and run IO. All current windows only allows single user, so it doesn't
allow effective use of the surplus 50% very easily. but I believe winodows
server 2003 will allow multi users which is what I need. Micosoft is offering a
150 days trial of Window 2003 R2 so I'll take that up and give that a try. You
may want to consider something similar to that.

Many thanks to everyone, including a
great fellow who sent me a PM. This is a joint effort, and the
configuration reflects your great suggestions and
advice.
Here’s the latest
configuration. I’d like to finalize and order by Thursday.
Please take a look, especially the questions.
Memory – (4) 1Gb Corsair memory
sticks. Either the “Dominator 2GB 1066 (PC2 8500)” (PN:
TWIN2X2048-8500C5D) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145043
or the “DOMINATOR 2GB 800 (PC2 6400)” (PN:
TWIN2X2048-6400C4D). I’m not sure which is appropriate, but
both have $40 off rebate (ends Saturday 6/30). Suggestions on this?
