Hi All:
Sorry about the OT, but with the volume of posting I thought at lest =
some one has experience and/or knowledge they will share.
A new server with a 2.4 GHz processor has Intel's BOIS Hyper-Threading. =
Even though only one physical processor is installed, the OS sees 2 =
processors due to the Hyper-Threading. The second processor is a =
"virtual processor". White paper from Server Vendor (IBM) claims a 40% =
increase in processing speed compared to turning off the =
Hyper-Threading. =20
Question is, If I later add a 2nd physical processor, will the OS then =
see 4 processors, and will this 4 processors effect the OS License? =
What about a 3rd or 4th processor? (The server can have up to 4 =
physical processors.)
TIA
Phil S.
