[THIN] Re: HP Proliant Server BIOS setting for CPU performance.....

Hello there,

I found the settings on our BL20Ps last year when i was testing Hyperthreading 
on Windows 2000.
I was checking the performance of a 16 bit application and then another server 
with our core apps on.
I was most disappointed when i noticed zero difference when comparing with 
other identical servers (save the bios change). 
We had around 30 users for testing per box

  See that's what I was thinking.  all the I/O from the sessions.  Mouse and 
keyboard in particular.

nothing on the subject but it is my best thought…

    Ok, I just came across this in the BIOS settings when I went to turn off 
hyperthreading.  You can set the performance for the CPU to 'optimized for 
memory' or 'optimized for I/O'.  It is defaulted to 'optimized for memory'.  
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
