Dale, Well one other thing you have to remember is that over the counter NT Server supports a maximum of 4 CPUs. To support more than that the IHV needs to write their own HAL. NT Workstaion supports a max of 2 cpus over the counter. Re: But most of the server applications (ie NT Network servers, Mail Servers, Web Servers, Lotus Notes and MS Exchange Groupware servers, as well as all major database applications will benefit from SMP and I believe it will be the preferred choice). Yes.. As I said servers will benefit from MP, simply because many server tasks are designed to handle multiple users and operations at once and are multi-threaded and well suited to multi-threading by default. My main point here is (to over simplify) don't say the Alpha is of _no_ concern. Minimal concern, sure, but don't count it out now that CPQ has it. That could change a lot. Steve
