Dual-Core Server Hits the Midmarket

Dual-Core Server Hits the Midmarket

Dell this week is introducing its first server powered by Intel Corp.’s dual-core technology. Customers buying the PowerEdge SC430 will have the option of running it on Intel’s dual-core Pentium D chip.

I was wondering when the first dual-core server would hit the market. This is a good solution for SBS folks since products like Exchange, ISA, and SQL Server will probably do quite well with multi-processors. This drops the dual processor price point to a very attractive level.
