OWGS is limited to 4 CPU servers (who cares, tell me how many system you > known with >4 servers). Actually I have 16 DG/Aviion servers running IDS 7.24 with 32 M88100 CPUs and 2 Sun E6000 running IDS 7.30 with 30 UltraSparc 330 CPUs. I certainly hope EVERYONE else who uses multiple CPUs chimes in to give Noel a view of the real world. Noel I have to support 100,000 users and databases that exceed 150GB and are still growing. You just cannot do that with 4 CPUs, sorry. Art S. Kagel
