Dell PowerEdge 1950 can have up to 2 quad-core Xeons, for 8 cores total. Supports up to 32 GB. Mind you, 16 GB costs about $3000, whereas 32 GB costs $20,000! Just for the memory. These are Dell prices, I'm sure you can find cheaper memory. Configured with 2 dual-core Xeons at 3.0 GHz and 16 GB of RAM, two 150 GB SAS hard drives configured in RAID, costs about $8400. Configured with 2 quad-core Xeons at 2.66 GHz and 32 GB or RAM, everything else the same, costs about $30,000. -- Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
