Cpu Upgrade Successful!!!

Just needed a BIOS update and voila! Plug and play! I chose the "ACPI Mulitprocessor Driver" as well so Windows 2000 is using both CPUs. Any faster for anyone?

I'm using a dial up connection in the hotel, and now its about as fast as my cable connection at home. I'll see how it is in the office tomorrow.

Looking good so far...

BTW - anyone that may know more than me...

I know that a lot of programs won't by default take advantage of the 2nd proccessor, and instead you should assign certain CPU intensive processes to a specific processor - in this case I think it would be the mysql - whadda u other admin types think? I haven't messed with a multi-processor box in a while, I'll read up tommorow.

Sorry I didn't get back to you ben, but glad its all working!

It's slow right now for me and I think it's because I'm downloading Dell Openmanage Server Administrator which is like 150MB so after about an hour it will be at full speed with it's full bandwidth.

Now to return the Celica to my brother in law in Lafayette... (new front wheel bearings)

I thinks is a bit faster; I´ve noticed no pictures???

ack windows2000? You should run linux or unix!

Unforunately I am not as knowledable in linux as I am in Windows. I run our mail server at work on linux, but I barely know enough to do so. I feel MUCH more comfortable from an administration standpoint running on Win2k

ahaha you should be running Windows XP PRO! The best operating system out there! I have dual P3 1ghz with 1gb of pc133 sdram and this baby flies.. w00t! ahah.

and i thought car people were smart enough to know better than to run windows. oh wait, those BMWs ran WinCE and look how they turned out.

This is a moot point. The server has been a BSD-subsystem machine since January 14th.
