Your answer suggest "yes, it would". Well, that is not really what I said. I just stated that in my PC CVSNT works well with a dualcore Pentium. But I have no clue as to its ability to divide the load between the cores, maybe it is just using one core processor and the other does other tasks as controlled by Windows?

I have successfully installed CVSNT on various systems ranging from NT4 up to Windows 2003 Enterprise server. On the W2003 there are some security issues that have to be handled since W2003 is rather locked down. But it is described in my tutorial. >> For installing/configuring CVSNT on Win 2003 Server: >> http://web.telia.com/~u86216177/InstallCVSNT25.html >> >> For enabling CVSNT Auditing: >> http://web.telia.com/~u86216177/CVSNTAuditing.html > /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
