A very large percentage of Dell PowerEdge servers sold with Red Hat Linux, or used with other distros, have 2 or more processors. We today have servers with 1, 2, 4, or 8 CPUs, and with the advent of HyperThreading, that looks like even more. More than two CPUs is not at all uncommon in the server space. Desktop/notebook space, sure.
Thanks, Matt
