HW Upgrade for Flow Simulation (first time poster)

We are running SW2008 SP5 and SW2009 SP1, and cannot modelflow through some of our more complicated parts and assemblies withXP and 2GB IBM single core workstations.

Because of some in-house advantages, we have a line on a 24 core (4x six core Xeon) 32GB machine. My information says Vista (and XP)won't run more than two sockets, so I have to go to Server.

Since Server 2008 is on the same kernal as Vista 64, we thought wecould run our flow simulations on this machine via the "Run at:"option.

Any tribal knowledge here that says don't bother? My risk here ismostly wasted time if this does not work.
