There may be a difference between 1 and 2 CPUs with the same number of

shared cache between cores.
Certainly a quad-core would give you a spare slot to upgrade to a
second quad-core.
Maybe look at some hardware based sites to get a feel for the
difference, and the sorts of applications that benefit to one over the
other before making a decision.

We have one server with two quad core Xeons (don't recall clock speed,
2.8ish?), 4GB RAM, running win 2003 with Firebird Classic, and it
