Increasing Server
Performance
Windows Server 2003,
Enterprise Edition lets you increase server
performance and capacity by adding processors and
memory. This approach to increasing your network
capacity is known as scaling up.

increase the performance of a server computer by
adding processors that can work together. Enhanced
SMP support in Windows Server 2003, Enterprise
