>We are running a slowish P3 webserver with Windows 2000 for a ASP.NET with VFP8 webapp. We want more horsepower for the reporting module which is a VFP executable. If we buy a dual processor system will VFP8 be able to take advantage of the 2nd processor? Our ISP doesn't think it will.

I know conventional wisdom says vfp cannot make good use of extra processors, but I will argue otherwise, after installing a 2nd one on my main (vfp apps only) production server.

As a practical matter, the 2nd processor does seem to pick up a good share of the load, and it improves performance noticeably, regardless if it's merely in an "accidental" or "incidental" sort of way.
