I bet. Cool | :cool:

My current dev box (a dual core 2.2GHz Opteron with 5GB running Win2k8 x64) was an impulse buy after we saw the insane pricing one of our suppliers was offering on them (under £100, FFS!). We weren't actually planning to buy any new machines until later in the year but this was too tempting to pass up. Big Grin | :-D

For an entry level server box (HP Proliant ML115 G5) it's pretty zippy. Although I could use an additional 6 cores (some of the testing we do can easily chew through an arbitrary number of CPU cores) that can wait until n-core CPUs are a bit more available.
