Thanks to all who responded. I got so irritated with Dell, that I was finally able to overcome the corporate predilections, and I sold them on a SuperMicro barebones system; we're going to put dual Opterons in it with 4 GB of ram, and use it to run a vmware server. Unfortunately, I couldn't convince the cheese to go with a Linux server running vmwareserver, so I'll be installing Vista on it. This is a beautiful machine in case anyone is interested - it has eight dimm slots and can take up to 16 GB of memory (actually up to 32 GB in one configuration); it has 8 hot swap SATA2 drive slots in the front. It was suprisingly cheap, considering what it is. I have no experience with supermicro boards directly, but they're considered the primo setup for non-linear video editing systems I use, and are constantly praised on that board. If anyone wants to see this box, you can go to mwave.com and click on barebones systems in the left column, and then click on barebones servers Thanks for all the responses -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
