>Well, MOM seems slow on all of our Win 2000 workstations. I suspect that part of the problem is the 100 megabit network. We're looking at upgrading it to a gigabit network. As part of that we're trying to decide whether a dual processor system will help. We have only 10 workstations.

Before ordering the new hardware you should analyze your current "problems" some more - sniffing the net and tracing net / disk / memory / cpu perf counters would be my first action. If net bandwidth *is* the bottleneck, change that and keep your current server for some time. For only 10 WS it would probably be a lot cheaper as well <g>. If the server's cpu is always 70% idle now, you'll have less of a speed up than on a server where the cpu has nearly no idle cycles now, if you put in a faster cpu. Just guessing nearly blindly I would not pick on the server "power" as the weak link a topology you describe.
