>Er... do you mean different servers/computers, or different processors on the same server? NT multiprocessor support is symmetric; you can't configure it to, say, run 5 light tasks on 1 CPU and 1 heavy one on the other. In very general terms, if a thread is scheduled to get some CPU time, it gets the one least loaded at that moment.

Well, it only took 3 days of constant toiling to replace my fried server OS-registry SCSI drive, re-install NT Server, restore all backup files, and get the services going. The tape registry restore would not work no matter what experts I called in to assist (too much security, basically), so I finally had to reinstall and reconfigure virtually everything on the server, while fending off angry users armed with pitchforks. Ugh...is it Friday yet?

Anyway, I mean 1 server, two processors. My new server goal is to configure the server so that the few heavy users will generally be running on 1 CPU (and probably only one at a time, only occasionally), and most lighter users on the other unit. One of our hardware people suggested dual processors for this - it didn't cost a lot more, so I went with it. You don't think this will work very well, either explicitly or implicitly? I was hoping to channel certain users explicitly...
