Considering the original author's post of running the entire setup
of a MMORPG on one machine, I was thinking "good multi-processor
server" as 4-way, 8-way, 30-way, n-way, probably stuck on Sun
hardware because there aren't many other viable options at that
level. You know, something the size of a small (medium or large)
refridgerator. =) By "smaller servers" I was actually thinking
things like the 1U or 2U Dell rackmount systems (1650's or 2650's,
respectively) that both support dual processors. I really like
those Dell systems, we have quite a number of them in production use
here, and if I were going to build a group of servers, I'd probably
start planning with them in mind as the server platform.
