Okay le, let's be realistic. As a storage server, it's ridiculous. 2U, 19" wide, 27" deep (plus all the crap sticking out the back) to hold two disks.
he didn't say his storage was internal

Compile box, it *might* be a little faster than a Fuel but not enough to notice. I've run both.
it's exactly twice as fast (assuming 2 cpus) as soon as the gnu make or any other jobserver kicks in.

Compute, maybe. But only if you are running fea analyses or similar. For general use the Fuel is just as fast.
every program that supports smp is faster. how much faster depends on each program.

I'll go another couple steps : I like smp. SMP means never having to sit there while the computer hops and jumps from task to task. But either Irix or the software or a combination of both do not do the job very well. Fireflop is a pile of shit, absolute total unutterable bear squat. This is one application where smp should be gloating over all the uni-p applications but instead, we get "Our javascript is ten times faster so we can hide ten times as much spyware on our website ! Aren't you excited ?!"
haha indeed. i never understood why something as fat as the mozilla poducts never had smp support. at least partially. even more so since today every walmart box has multiple cores.
