Dear Tench: Are you so sure that most systems ship with maximum CPUs? In my experience, this is not true. Because of the rapid drop in CPU prices, there is a great incentive to add only when needed. If one is enough and you won't need the second for a year, why not wait and get it when the prices are less (both due to inflation and price drops). Memory is the same way and so is disk. Time and time again, this has proven to be the best course, especially now given the tight IT budgets and spending restrictions. Yes, the server OEM has an incentive to sell the additional ones sooner than later, so they might be biased. Pete
