I'd go with a dedicated HD array on Caching over 100 users.IDE strip would do. 256mg memory is recomended min.?What server product boots with less??!!?! I would'nt start with less than 512mg . I assume your recycling some pc133 machines.MS says 300mhz....please!!! = lag/timeout slow! 500mhz would be my min. I'm on 950/1000mhz slot A's = P3 killers! w/768/1024mg . They are'nt lightning boxs but they were end tables before. Plenty of decomed dual Dells around if you have 500+ users,but then you'll probably need 64 bit NIC's for those worthless Motherboards, if you have spares.They make good target backstops when they die,as in be careful about buying junk. Better off with an array of cheap ISA boxs w/ cheap 10/100- 32 bit server cards than one dying turd. thekevin ----- Original Message ----- From: Roy Tsao To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Sent: Sunday, June 05, 2005 11:30 AM Subject: [isalist] ISA2K4 SE Box Benchmark Configuration http://www.ISAserver.org Not sure if there is a basic benchmark configuration based on 1 ISA box according to nubmer of clients i.e.: CPU RAM HD 50 Client 100 200 300 400 500 Thanks, Roy Tsao ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: thekevin@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: roy_tsao@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
