I think I remember that Tony has stated that CVSNT does not benefit
for dual processors. OTOH I have a test server with a dual core
Pentium processor, which mostly appears as a dual CPU. It works well
even though I have no clue to how one can determine "performance"...

If the new server is going to run the same operating system (W2000
Server for example) I see no problem at all. You can even put the new
server into DNS under the same name as the old one and the users won't
notice a difference.
