Tony, if you didn't know already, going from 4-way to 8-way (both on Profusion, the former leaving some CPU slots open) gets 1.6x performance scalability on PC Magazine's tests. This is on Windows NT 4.0, I think.

Re: "Sounds good, even though it's a little bit apples to oranges. Do you remember a performance improvement % number for 4 way to 8 way, just under Win2000? 4 to 8 has been the bugaboo with NT, I think."

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 [WinNT4.0*] running Windows 2000."

* I think this is what they meant.
