Interesting - do you have a reference for that?

That said, only one processor is ever functioning at one time.

In the task manager, only one processor shows up. I've never heard of "bridging" processors or anything like that. Is this guy just making stuff up, or is this something that can be done? The servers are Compaq Proliant DL380s, which I see can be purchased with two processors. http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantdl380/description-g3. html What I'm getting at though, which I didn't really intend to ask here, is that if these servers are twin processor servers with them "bridged" or whatever, how many per-processor SQL licenses would we need? One or two?
