>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.

Evan,

I haven't read the whole thread, but I don't think that anyone has mentioned this. No application can govern processor usage. That is strictly the province of the OS. It will off-load to the secondary processor to balance the load.
