Its only running at 50%. so that answers that. I wasted some money on that
extra processor I guess. I'm sure if I run something else it is handy to
have that extra processor. I wonder of the Global Server or the Radarscreen
can use the other. Wishful thinking. I'll watch these closer when the market
is open.
