comment vmware ESX 4 with AMD Opteron 2435 MHz 6 core CPU's. CPU-Z reports core speed 528Mhz!
Will have a play on a test blade and vm... Brent did say he'd seen the same thing on vm's as well as physical boxes, but you never trust anything anyone says, do you ;)

It's not quite that simple, but we should be able to check the config in a sister server/blade to see what that is doing. Hopefully tomorrow.

@Marm0t - It seems they are set to "dynamic" or "OS Control" mode. But the ESX server is reports the "Power Management Technology" as "Not available". Does the serve default to slow mode?

Windows 2008 and this guest has 4 CPU's (as per the taskmanager photo) and I'm running a lot of 7zip's to get the CPU up high to try to see if the buz speed pops up...

comment How can I find out how many updates are waiting to be installed on a remote server
Thanks - I looked at UpdateHf.vbs and worked out how to use CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.Session", strServer) in VBScript to create a small script to check a servers "not installed" status.

comment How much RAM for a web server?
512GB for a webserver is fine. If there are no users! Please provide us with more details: How many concurrenty users do you want to support? How does the server perform in your dev and test environments?
