On my servers does it matter if I am running 2 processors or 1?
I run Windows 2000 and have servers for web, db, file server, mail/dns.
does it make sense for me to run 2 X xeon 2.4ghz or would i be ok running a single 3.2 xeon

Two processors or more is prefer on a server. One CPU have to divide the loads therefore it will slow down your server. With 2 or more, each cpu can do different things at the same time.

Are you planning on running anti-virus on any of them? If you have it fully scanning you'll notice a performance increase as one CPU can be used for scanning while the other is freed up for work.

Generally, newer processor is always better.
