Well, Since you currently have some MF boxes running these apps I would look at them to see how they are doing on Proc and memory. Gives you a good starting point.=20 I like duals for everything, unless I have tons (in the thousands of users) then MAYBE quads or Blades (more for cable and OS mgmt than anything else) With a Dual I go 2 Gig of RAM. If you want to start with a GIG that is fine but configure your memory so you still have slots available. So if you have 4 slots and get a gig don't buy 4 256 modules. Then you have to replace them all. Get 2 512's For drives. Go with 18 gig scsi's, you can go bigger if there isn't much of a price different. Tear it up bro.

Hello I just had a nice talk with the director of IT here. I mentioned (thanks Ron) to him the Dell 1650 series server, he jumped on it :-) Now he wants me to spec it out and recommend how many servers to buy at first. So my question(s) is this... Recommend amount of memory? 1G or more? Processor type? Looks like I can get PIII 1.8MHz (TWO per box) I will be running OfficeXP, Meditech, Acrobat Reader. Looking a getting 5 Dell 1650's for now. ^^^ got Linux ^^^ Mark Guzzo Sair LCA, LCP Citrix Administrator "Don't Fear The Penguin." ********************************************** This weeks Sponsor NetX Inc Thin Client NetX Develops XP and NT Embedded=20 Thin Client Solutions, Easy to Configure,=20 Extremely Secure, and Remotely Managed.
