I don't know about Xenon processors, but I do know that Intel Xeon processors come in a Dual-Core _flavour_ (meaning that each "CPU" may or may not have multiple "CPUs" in them (technically, they're "cores" but anyways...)). AFAIK, In a Dual Core CPU, it still has to give each core a CPU ID or otherwise I'm not sure how the OS is supposed to handle it. > >Either way, I still think a "total machines" count in addition to > >"hosts up" is a good idea; provided it's possible... > > > > > That's right - "total machines" definitely gonna be a good idea but the > wrong "CPUs Total" in the front page is just too much annoying. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable.
