PS2Ki and multiple processors

Hi Steve,

I found out from tradestation2000i web pages that TS2Ki:
http://www.tradestation2000i.com/products/tradestation/feature/state.shtm

and RadarScreen:
http://www.tradestation2000i.com/products/radarscreen/feature/state.shtm

are multithreaded applications and support upto eight processors on one
machine.

Questions:
1) Has TradeStation tested PS2Ki by running it on a eight processor machine?
2) Intel tells me their Xeon 2.4 GHz processors are hyper threaded which
will make Windows 2000 OS look at one such processor as two (and therefore
two as four)...on the other hand the Xeon MPs have a lot more
cache...therefore the best people to answer which would be faster would be
TradeStation.  So can you tell me which of the following CPU configurations
will make PS2Ki run more efficiently?
a) Dual Xeon 2.4 GHz, or b) Quad PIII Xeon MP 900MHz?

Folks at PS2Ki tech support weren't able to answer these questions and they
said I wouldn't be able to talk to your programming dept directly.  I
thought you, being the head of Customer Support, would be able to get me an
answer.

Thanks in advance,

Romi
