Hi Tim I am currently serving 5000 users (average 40 requests per second) on a P2 450 with only IDE drives. It's average day-time load is between 40 and 80%. I shall shortly be upgrading to dual Xeon 2.8s, 2Gb, 4*UW160 73gb, 2*GBIC. Probably overkill, but this should last into the near future. Regards, Chris
