The dual-core license is cheaper than a server license + an additional point of view (i.e., what you would need to use two processors on a non-dual-core, SMP system). Also, consider that you don't have to license both processors unless your app will be processor-bound. If the work you get the IB server to do is disk-I/O bound or if only one user ever taxes the server at a time, then there's no point in licensing both processors. If, on the other hand, it's CPU-bound and multiple users are hitting the server pretty hard at the same time, then a second CPU license is probably the cheapest speed improvement available. -- Craig Stuntz [TeamB] � Vertex Systems Corp. � Columbus, OH Delphi/InterBase Weblog : http://blogs.teamb.com/craigstuntz Useful articles about InterBase development: http://blogs.teamb.com/craigstuntz/category/21.aspx
