I would also think seriously about the Linux thing too - I'm serious about
the performance difference - one of our sites ("our" in the loosest sense of
the word - we just sold them IB, not developed the app they run over it) had
a network and system crash, and their IB server (NT) got nuked. They got it
back up enough to get the GDB file off, and they stuck it on a Linux box
with 1/2 the processing power (going from NT with dual PII 450's / 512meg
RAM to Linux w/ single PII 450 / 512meg RAM), and it performed identically
under the same load.
Should just how BAD windows' VM management and task scheduling is!
