Hi,

Actually quite a few sites are having success with Generator 2 on NT. We
will be publishing a performance white paper with a lot of stats about
performance on various systems fairly soon and that should give you a good
benchmark against what to expect. Also, Generator performance scales along
with number of processors...if you are on a single CPU NT server you might
want to look at a dual or quad CPU server.
