Howdy,
 
I'm quoting some servers from Dell and wanted to get the opinions of all of the 
Citrix people out there in cyber space.
 
These servers (three of them) will be hosting Microsoft Office products, Novell 
GroupWise, and  1 vb app (16MB memory usage/user) that is the front end to a 
SQL database held on another server to 180 users.
 
All user data will be stored on a Novell server accessible through a mapped 
drive.
 
I'm looking at the Dell Poweredge 1850 with dual 3.8 Xeons /2MB Cache, 4GB RAM, 
and raid 1.
 
I plan on using 2 73GB 15k RPM Drives.
 
What raid controllers do you use?   The embedded one (PERC4ei), PERC4eDC-PCI 
Express (+$415 ),  or the PERC4/DC for an extra $415?
 
From your experiences, am I asking too much from these servers, or should I 
have more?


Thank you for your continued support.  This list rocks.  You guys have given me 
answers for questions I did not know I needed to ask.
