It depends on no of CPUs. We go with default and let SQL server decide on it.

ok... let's say you have 1 cpu, duo core, 64 bit.
How many worker threads can be used?

On the syssubsystems table, does the max_worker_threads correspond to the total or per CPU?

The default does not work for us anymore.. I see queued up jobs.
But I managed to reach a magic number (but not optimum since it was an educated guess) and that solved our problem.

What I'm really asking is a formula or best practice. Again, the default does not work anymore :) but thanks for the reply.
