Adding a second one.
TSM is good at using 2 CPU´s, so, very roughly speaking, 
you will have 2x2.8=5,6 comparing to 3.2.
Common limitations for paralell processing applies.

Betreff: performance scaling question



My server is an IBM x235 with a single Xeon 2.8ghz (533mhz fsb), running
windows2003.  I've noticed that the cpu gets pretty consistently pegged
every night during backups, and I was wondering what would do more
good.... replacing the single 2.8 with a 3.2, or leaving the 2.8 and
adding a second one?
