Yeah BUT are they only 800 bucks more with the XEONs and the 6 b of ram
over a dual Pentium with 2 gb....=20

If so buy a truck load cause I want them.=20
If not then it is a measure of how much performance you get against the
dollars spent. =20

Don't get me wrong. XEONs are the bad boys on the block. But when
dealing with a small env with budget restrictions..... they cant always
be there.=20

Hello,

What about the Dell 2650's?  Yes they are 2U but they support 2 2.4 Xeon
processors and up to 6 Gig of 200Mhz DDR SDRAM and a Embedded remote
access
port. (great for when you need to reboot a dead server remotely).  I
belive
a simular 1650 is only about $800.00 CDN less. I know I am debating
which
server to purchase. Thoughts?  =20

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.=3D3D20

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.
