I am running a 3.0 P4 processor in my server. I was just given some servers with dual 933 xeons in them. Should I switch my server to the 933 box or keep the P4?

that is sort of a loaded question

I assume you mean P3 933MHz Xeon processors?

Also, determining what to run will largely depend on what you use the server for. I would imagine almost anything you are using would benefit more from the 3.0 P4 just based on processor alone, much less the newer equipment that accompanies it...

They are dual P3 933MHz Xeons. The program I run Is very heavy on the P4 processor and causes the computer to have problems. The task manager shows the processor running between 85 and 90%. Will the 933 take some of the load off since it is dual?

nope, stick with the p4

Would you rather have two quarters or one dollar?

if this was a question of like 2 1.6ghz 400mhz fsb p4's and a 3ghz 533mhz p4, you might have a decision, but flops, memory bandwidth, etc, are going to be better on the p4 95-100% of the time
