Are you saying your server is pegging 100% on hyper-threaded CPUs? If you have dual CPUs and hyperthreading, does task manager show 4x CPU? Since you see double CPU's with hyper-threading, 50% CPU utilization implies one normal CPU and 100% implies special programs that can use hyperthreading pipelines to _full_ capacity. The only program I've seen do that is SETI @ home. What programs are running on the system, besides Oracle? Good luck. Regards, Mike Thomas __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
