Reply to The Difference between Xeon and Pentium 4 processors? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hi! The new Xeon chips are alot like the P4's but have 'hyperthreading' that makes one physical cpu appear as two logical cpus. One Xeon appears to the OS (W2k, XP) as two cpu's shown in task manager. I have several servers at work (Compaq DL-380 G3's) with four CPU's, so it looks/acts like eight processors. It also has 4 gig of ram and supports 350-400 users under Windows Terminal server. If you really want to geek out, a review can be found here: http://www.digit-life.co
