Dual core means two processors on one physical chip. If you have one physical dual-core processor like the Intel Xeon (or AMD Athlon) in your box it will appear as two CPUs in "systat" for example. If you have two physical dual-core processors in your DL running "systat" will show 4 x CPUs. I think with the DL360 you can have up to two dual core prcoessors - e.g. two physical Xeon processors. I think what you have ordered is an single processor dual-core. http://www.hp.com/sbso/news/feature_dual_core.html?mtxs=land-smb&mtxb=B1&mtx l=L1 -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Marc G.

'k, I'm a bit confused, since I didn't quite get what I was looking for, but it was what I ordered *sigh* And, in fact, might actually be what I want without realizing it ... basically, I wanted a Dual Xeon server ... got a Single one ... looking at the HP web site, though, I see: "Powerful HP ProLiant DL360 G4p is now available Dual-core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon processors that offer 22MB L2 cache and 64-bit support." Does this mean that my CPUs *are* Dual-Core, or just that I can order them that way? ---- Marc G.
