RE: XEON Processor better for TS ?

I believe that TS2000i can take advantage of up to 8 cpu's at least
according to the information I once read on the OR website.  Whether it's
true or not however is another story.  I understand that the issue of
multi-threading is somewhat complex and it has to be implemented very
carefully in order to work properly.  I have never read any post on this
list where a contributor mentions using more than 2.

The question is whether TS2K is "multi-cpu" aware... if not, then you're not
doing diddly with that second CPU. Because of that, I went to max out a
single CPU system over what I had previous which was twin-Xeon. Mostly all
my other financial softs only take advantage of 1 cpu as well.

Best regards,

Gene
