John,
>> So what does this mean, if I have NT server how will it multi-thread an
application if it has say 4 processors on it… ?
From my understanding, it's up to the application writer to incorporate
multi-threading capabilities in his program; NT just gives him the platform to
do it. AutoCAD R13/NT is an example; it will run on a multi-processor machine,
but only use one of them for the program itself. NT will still use the other
one for its own operations, say, printing in the background.

p.s. This is kinda funny…you were the one who soothed my apprehensions about
getting into NT, and now that I have, I spend about as much time on the WINNT
forum as anywhere, and find you asking me questions. <g> Hopefully, some of my
responses will be correct.
