PIII 800 but I'm sure there's quite a difference between that and the
3.6. Thanks for the feedback

I have 4 2850's with 4 gigs of RAM and 3.6ghz processors.  50-60
sessions doesn't even come close to maximum utilization of these boxes.
Most uses are doing office apps and some SQL based business apps.  With
50 sessions, I have 1.5-1.7 gigs of physical RAM free and plenty of CPU
left.    I'll run out of RAM before processor, no doubt about it.  
 
Aren't those 6450's slow Pentium 2's?  My original SQL server was a 6400
Quad CPU.  I think (don't quote me) it was something liek quad P2 500 ?
There is just no contest in how much faster the 2850's are compared to
that, even with 2 less CPUs.  Infact, my new SQL box is a dual 3.2ghz
2850, and it just smoked the old one like it wasn't even turned on.

For anyone running Dells, specifically the 2850's... 


Do you find that the dual procs with decent memory (4GB) runs
Presentation Server 4.0 well? User load 50-60 users on one box. We have
older 6450 poweredge units that have quad processors and I'm a little
concerned about dropping down to dual. Do the 2850's do the job just
fine?
