Re: "Perhaps the reverse? If they've run production on the 8-way for 4 months, it was probably NT, not W2K. And the W2K could have been running Beta 2 or 3, which still had enough debug code and lack of final tuning to account for the difference." If they were running it for 4 months then they could only have been using the 512K L2 version of the 550MHz Xeon. The 1&2 Meg versions were just released this week. This means that the scaling would be even better if the newer Xeons were used. EP
