these are ibm x336,

dual 3ghz processors, 4bg ram, but they fall apart at 20 users.  w2k3 r2.
sp2. ps 4.5 adv.

they think they should get more users per server.  so do i.

i am suspicious of the app setup on one of the apps.  and they have a lot of
symantec junk installed.  plus all the tricerat stuff.  simplify profiles,
printing, reliability etc.
