I would like to point out that in my office, I have 2 Dual-Pentium NT servers (2x133mhz and 2x100mhz) and a Linux box (60mhz pentium). The Linux box is soo much faster than the NT boxes that there is little comparison (YES! A 60mhz pentium Linux machine outperforms a 266mhz dual pentium NT 4.0 machine, hands down). Certainly, it depends on what you are doing - I am refering specifically to Internet/Intranet, file, database and development related activities (a fair sample). Dan, Try using Windows NT Workstation. NT Server is deliberately slow for the user logged on at the machine. This is to reserve memory for incoming network connections. Only the exact part of an application that you need right at the current moment is loaded into memory on an NT Server. NT Workstation is optimised for interactive tasks. This is basic NT stuff that you should know if you have two NT Servers in your office !
