Up to how many CPU sockets are supported by the Windows Server Technical Preview?

Question

I hope that all of a server's physical sockets are detected so that every core is usable by the operating system.

Answer 1

I have a situtation that I need to order a new server
for a new application getting developed?
I have the idea of no of users will be working on
them will be around 100
How will I decide Server with How many CPU do I
require?
and how much the amount fo physical memory should I
order with the Server?
Which are the factore affecting them and how will I
decide on them?
Is there any note given by oracle?Sounds like you need to start at the beginning with some of
Tom Kyte's books, the Oracle documentation &c.
You must have some idea of the throughput of your system.
If you are going to be using tons of I/O, then CPU might be
irrelevant, but you'd damn sure want the disk (array)(s) to
be up to scratch,
on the other hand,
if you are going to be doing lots of calculating/processing, then
your CPU might be critical.
It's a question only you can really answer.
Post a more detailled spec here, along with a budget*
and you may receive more assistance.

Paul...
* budget is normally very very important also...
We could tell you to buy two (one backup) HP-UX boxes
with 16-way SMP capacity and a 10TB 100 disk SAN, with,
oh, say, 10 disk controllers, but that's
not much use if your budget is... ahem... constrained.
