Hello *,

thanks a lot for the quick responses. It looks like I have to answer a few 
questions.

- I am talking about P4 Xeon
- Getting away from SUN is the attemp to reduce costs. I think I don't have to 
mention the amount of money that has to be spent on service contracts (even 
with older machines).

I don't really like to change from multi CPU SUNs to Intel boxes. My Problem 
is that I don't know much about the behavior of Intel Xeons and I fear to run 
into a performance bottleneck even with databases >5Gb. I've one P4 Dual Xeon 
box running with oracle 9i. The system shows 4 CPUs that seems to be typical 
for Xeon. Will postgres use this a a 4 CPU machine ? Is there any HT support 
?

regards

-andreas
