Windows 2008 server and Core memory utlization
I am about to buy a new server for a windows 2008 AD upgrade.
Does Windows 2008 Server Standard R2 x64 support multithreading? if so, can it utilize a quad core chip or will it be a waste and just go for a dual core?

Hi Windl,
So you are recommending two dual core processors instead of a single quad core?

The short answer is, yes - two would be faster in most scenarios, and hyper threading is "standard" ;)

Right...how does that work with VM server 2.0? Im installing the windows 2008 on vmserver 2.0 and It will only support up to 2 processors...is that a limitation of VMserver rather than windows?
