Donny, I can't tell you which server to buy, but I can offer you a few things to keep in mind. 1. AMD Opterons seem to handle true multitasking better than Intel chips because the AMD chips have a much higher bandwidth between the CPU and memory. See Google for details. 2. I've had great results with 3ware's 9000 series SATA RAID controllers. They are very fast, have an optional battery backup that will keep unwritten data in the cache alive even if there is a complete power failure, and 3ware has been very easy to work with. 3. Make sure that SAPGUI will work when 20 people connect from the same IP address. The last time I worked with ŚAP, they required each user to have a separate IP address. If this is still the case, you will need to get SAPGUI running as a local app; this is not difficult, but it can be time-consuming. -David ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
