I've done W2K XPe FR3 on a few Proliant 5500 with 1.5GB RAM. All I can say is the system is SLOOOOOOOW. My users can tell when they hit one of them. Everything takes longer. adam Steve Snyder <steven_snyder@ya To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx hoo.com> cc: Sent by: Subject: [THIN] Windows 2003 - Any Realistic Load Capabilities? thin-bounce@freel ists.org 10/20/2003 03:13 PM Please respond to thin 5 Compaq Proliants each with 3GB of memory and 3 PIII-550 procs (I've no idea what the fascination with 3 was). Currently running NT4/MF18, would like to go to win2003/MFXP. Usually about 35 users are on each box, running your basic Office 2000 apps and a sometimes cpu-intensive enterprise app called MIMS. Has anyone actually implemented Win2003/MF on older hardware such as this, and if so, has the performance been acceptable and not drastically reduced?
