The Xeon's need to be be HT-capable (the present ones are), as that helps spread available CPU around the tasks that do use it better. The 6x146GB is overkill for storage, unless you have some other plans that I'm not aware of (I'm assuming RAID5 with a hot-spare, so 4x146GB usable). 6x72GB might be more suitable for the budget. -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
