Dell is jumping on the dual-core processor bandwagon with a new server sporting Intel's Pentium D processors, which have been enhanced to power general-purpose servers.

The new Dell PowerEdge SC430 is targeted at small businesses with prices starting at $499. Dell doubled the storage capacity and the number of high-speed data transfer slots in the new servers over the previous PowerEdge SC420 model. The SC430 is designed to run Windows Server 2003, Red Hat or Suse Linux operating systems.

At the heart of the new server, however, is Intel's recently released Pentium D. As previously reported, Intel has modified its mainstream PC chip as a dual-core processor to accommodate servers for simple business functions such as e-mail, file serving and shared Internet access. Dual-core technology combines two computer brains onto one piece of silicon.
