I need to set up a web server that's going to get quite a lot of traffic. I'm purchasing a TYAN dual Pentium II motherboard and I had the thought that I might want to use 2 cpu's. Is the SMP code reliable? My existing web server (Pentium 200 MMX, 256M ram) runs with a load average of 50 - jumping up to over 100 when certain cgi scripts are running. Just by going with a single 300mhz Pentium II, I should see quite an improvement in the load. Would 2 processors cut the load in half? Thanks! Joe
