The most important thing is not cpu power, but memmory bandwidth to the cpus. There are currently mothermboards by SuperMicro using the Serverworks grand champion chipset. This chipset usually features multiprocessor xeons and has greater that 3GB/s bus bandwidth.

These work with SuSE 8.0 without probles. -- Randall. * John_Cuzzola ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [020808 08:16]: > > > *** In my experience for 25-30 (or more) clients running heavy apps > simultaneously (Open Office / Star Office)...A dual processor with 2GB ram > works well.
