Re: "I have no idea how you'll ever see greater than 100% improvement going from four to eight processors. "

I believe the comparison was between 4-way NT and 8-way WIN2000. Here's the quote.

techweb.com

"Performance for the eight-ways has been 1.7 times that of a four-way server running Windows NT, and better than twice the performance of a four-way server running Windows 2000."

Also the article does not say what the cache size is for the above comparison so I don't think you can conclude it is 2 Meg.

Perhaps Windows 2000 can make better use of eight processors than NT 4.0.

Perhaps just a bit...

<idea how you'll ever see greater than 100% improvement going from four to eight processors.>
This just proves that the ZD article is an
obscure BS.
