Thank you everyone. I have been buying workstations with good SCSI cards and dual P4s for the past year - when the Xeon servers (thanks for the P3/4 clarification W) were more costly with less punch. I manage two companies - a pharmaceutical process automation company and a software company. The former needs good laptops and a few of dependable servers. The latter needs fast servers to run applications. We are migrating our code to .NET both because .NET is faster to develop in and because it is more comprehensive and because we will be able to take advantage of 64-bit processing power more quickly. Servers are the big issue - we want the most bang for our bucks and it is hard to discover what that is and where the cutting edge line is moving next. We typically buy Dell machines - workstations with RAID configurations that include 15K drives - for application servers. Would be willing to buy AMD-based machines, too. So far have found Dell to be the best price point and easiest site to buy from. But, it is hard to see what will be available NEXT week or month. (Also, have had issues with Dell service from time to time.) Our application servers deal with large numbers of transactions. What is the alternative to P4/Xeon when the code is written for a 2000 box and not transportable to a Unix box?
