: : Not only will the second processor give you a benefit in terms of performance ? it?s a necessity! Running StarTeam and ORACLE, or any other DBMS on the same, single processor server, will create a situation where both the DBMS and StarTeam will use up a lot of resources which is due to the poor context switching in Windows NT (or Windows 2000).

: Ok, thank you very much for explaining this. So I have to go with a dual processor system. Is there anything to configure that Win2k really distributes the two server processes to different processors? Are there instructions for this special configuration?

No, not really. I have found that if I leave the DBMS to do it's own performance tuning (most of the new ones does a very good job with their Adaptive Tuning), then the system will perform at it's best.
