Title: Domain Controller Consolidation utilizing Dual Core CPUs

In my opinion the biggest bang for the buck is consolidation of servers to the 64bit platform assuming of course that you have a large enough database, greater than 3 GB, and put enough memory in the servers to cache the entire database contents.  I have come across very few cases where Domain Controllers were truly CPU bound and in almost all cases they were I/O bound.  These servers perform extremely well for servers that are taking large amounts of ldap traffic from applications like Exchange.

 

Thanks,

Gentleman,
Does anyone has any information regarding Domain Controller consolidation utilizing Dual Core CPUs?
I have not seen anything reports from microsoft indicating the performance boost gained by utilizing Dual Core technology on DCs. It is presume to be much better that the 20% to 30% gain from Hyper Threading CPUs.

Thanks for your input,
