We're thinking about upgrading our oracle production servers, going with
RAC. Would you rather 2 servers, each with 2  2.4 ghz cpus, or 2 servers
each with 4 1.4 ghz cpus?  Our oracle license is CPU bound so we're
thinking it would be better to have 2 faster cpus, but maybe oracle likes
having 4 somewhat slower ones instead.  Any clues?

thx..
