Mark, When I buy a WTS box, I usually max it out with the highest speed processor I can buy (usually only Dual's - I haven't seen that Quads buy you much in generic applications, tho have bought them for some compute intensive tasks) & max the memory. If you can't max the memory to 4gb, I'd get 2gb at the least, and set yourself up so that you can expand to 4gb later by getting the 2GB SDRAM,133MHz,2X1GB DIMMs. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Guzzo [mailto:marguz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 9:38 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] New Dell 1650 questions? 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 Thin Client Solutions, Easy to Configure, Extremely Secure, and Remotely Managed.
