Jim, Re: < A sucker a day puts the P-III in play>

I've got to agree with you. The company I work for just bought a batch of multiple cpu P-III boxes to run ORICAL web database functions, despite the fact that the Alpha machines will do the job better running NT. and the HP-UX and SUN machines will do the job better in the unix environment, and that the server environment has NOTHING to do with the application environment.

They bought multiple 3-CPU boxes, - the second cpu adds about 25% thruput, and the third adds about 5%(as far as I can figure, Please correct me.) What do they think - that they are going to upgrade to the 4th CPU?

DRIVES ME NUTS!! Or have I missed a benchmark around here somewhere? - I haven't been able to benchmark the Multiple cpu machines at work yet.
