A nice SBS article that highlights the impact dual core technology on low cost server solutions. I have been really interested in dual core systems since I know that dual cpu systems work well with SBS. I run an old dual 700 MHz CPU server with SBS Premium. I originally ran the system with a single CPU since I am pretty price sensitive on a home server. When I bought a second CPU off of Ebay I was impressed with the performance improvement. The second CPU reduced the processing queue since the applications like Exchange and SQL Server are designed for multi-processors. My best guess is that a dual CPU/core system will degrade nicely under heavier loads. The Pentium D processor is particularly attractive at this price point since dual Xeon processors are more than twice as expensive. This extends the low cost servers to a slightly larger sized user base with adequate response time.
