I've had wonderful success with Classic on a Windows 2003 server, with
dual cpu's and HT enabled (looks like 4 cpu's). You do not want to do
anything with CPU Affinity. Let each FB process run on the CPU it is
assigned.

The only thing you will want to do when switching from SS to CS is
perhaps change the buffers. Otherwise, each connection (process in
CS) will default to something like 75MB of RAM. I chose 2048 for the
buffer setting, and it's worked well (gfix -b 2048 -user sysdba
-password masterkey <database>).
