The Standard edition server will lock itself to the first processor on a
machine.  This means that if you run 2 Standard servers in a load splitting
configuration on a machine you will only utilise the first CPU.

The professional server on windows will allow you to bind the server to any
CPU on the machine.  This is done in the witango.ini file with a new
parameter called PROCESSAFFINITY.  By default on a Professional Edition it
is set to ALL.  Other values include FIRST and LAST.  If you have more than
2 CPUs in your machine you can control the process affinity by using a
binary switch like 1001.

On a 2 CPU system  ALL is equivalent to 11, LAST is equivalent to 01 and
FIRST is equivalent to 10.  The binary switch allows you to precisely bind
the server process to any number of CPU.
