> I was comparing the dual Linux to the quad Windows setup. I'm not a systems expert, but perhaps someone else can confirm this. As far as I can remember from what I have read, 4 500Mhz processors do not equal 1 2000Mhz. The computing cost to push certain tasks or threads to certain processors can take quite a bit of cycles. Take a look at the data for the Win2K boxes. The pages per minute with one processor is half of the number of pages with four processors. Once you start changing the number of processors, you add all sorts of factors such as how the SMP is handled and what not.
Although I would be interested to see a comparison between Linux and Win2K, I personally don't think it really matters. If somebody knows Linux, stick with Linux. If you know Windows, stay with that. A couple hundred extra page hits shouldn't warrent switching over your entire system to something different.
