I have first hand knowledge of the instability of NT Speaking of first hand knowledge. One of the web sites that I do business with... I believe has converted a number of their servers from Win NT to Sun servers. This company needs to serve up real time info on the business I and their other customers are doing. Well several months back the web site had continual problems, down time and unavailability, searches would be slow or a page would come up..."Busy - Hit Reload". I would check their "announcement" board and would see things like "we are working with our Microsoft contacts to try and resolve this current problem with Win NT" (yes they would indicate Win NT, wish i would have saved these announcement postings). Then things slowly got better. I remember reading about them "testing" out and new "big" server from Sun.. ;-)... Which seemed to have worked and things got much better... Well with in the last week now I see this on their announcement page.. Server Upgrades This weekend, we upgraded our main database server from a Sun "E4000" to an "E6500". This machine has 10 336Mhz processors and 6.5 Gb of memory in it. Your hard disk probably has a capacity of 2 Gb, maybe 4. It has a capacity of 30 CPUs and 30 Gb of memory. And we have another machine, almost just like it, as a backup. The "next step up" is something called an E10000 or a "Starfire". Rumor has it we have to hire someone named "Jean Luc-Picard" as an operator, but we're not just there yet. ;-). So Dataminer, more real evidence that Win NT can not handle the load except for the basics ;-) Roger
