Dual Processor Machines

[Jason Alexander <lists () itsecurity3 its uiowa edu>]

Hello,

I am in the process of putting together a proposal for our university to 
 purchase some new snort hardware.  Currently were using some spare 
desktop hardwares and are looking to move to faster rack mount hardware.

I've been reading the archives and it looks like Snort is not SMP aware 
yet so is there a good reason to purchase dual processor machines for 
the sensors boxes.   The database and https servers will be hosted on a
seperate box from the sensors so the only thing the sensor needs to do 
is Snort.

thanks
Jason
