"It's not like a single core machine would be faster."
Do you mean "It's not like a dual core machine would be faster." ?
Its a fair point.
So many PCs and laptops now are being sold with Core2 Duo CPUs and yet most
people will not be running apps that are multi-core/multi-thread capable.
(with the exception of video rendering and Supreme Commander !)
I don't know if SQL or Best Practice are multi-core/multi-thread capable.
My point was that if I ask for a PC to be built for the server and they
offer me a dual core AMD/Intel CPU, if there is a chance that
a) SQL Express 2005 will only run on one core, or that
b) SQL or Best Practice are not multi-core/multi-thread capable,
should I save my money and specify a single core CPU ?
Is there a point in getting a dual core CPU for a practice server which isnt
running something like Terminal Services ?

I don't know for sure but assume that it would only operate on one core.
I don't understand what the problem is - unless you have an alternative
database engine. It's not like a single core machine would be faster.
cheers,
