Re: 2003 Enterprise - 16 Way

Thanks posted here in error. We have upgraded the memory also. In this
scenario both required.

Hi

Scenario we have recently upgraded a older server from 4 way to 8 way CPU.
When 4 way the CPUs were configured to run with hyperthreading. When we
added more processors we switched this off as Enterprise is not meant to run
with greater than 8 CPUs. Even though the server now has 8 physical CPUs
utlisation is still vey high. The server is not scheduled to be replaced for
another 12 months and we would wish to implement a cost effective increase in
server resources.

We were interested to know as HT is not physical cores will the OS manage to
run if HT is turned on again without an upgrade to Datacentre

Thanks

And your VB6 question is?

I'm not sure VB6 offers a solution, but I bet if you posted this in a
Windows Server group you could get a good answer (if there is one).
But if you want, I'm sure someone here will be willing to write you a
short VB6 function to kill processes and running programs, which might
*make* you think the computer is running faster!

BTW, usually more memory is a better investment than more CPU...
