I'm trying to decide which spare server I should use to build a backup file/print server. These are both Dell PE2950 machines that haven't been used in about a year or so. One has 2 2.0 ghz quad core procs, and the other has 2 3.0 ghz dual core procs. None of these are the Nehalem procs since they're…

If it doesn't, are there tools out there that will (preferably via a boot disc)?

Looking for a tool that can test a daul-core cpu via a boot disc, thus bypassing Windows (and ensuring that only the hardware is being tested).
UBCD4Win's included Prime95 is an older version and it can't run two threads at once. Ditto for UBCD.
