Some SS10/20 as Web- or Print-Servers... I would not use a SS5/10/20 as workstation which mean, I am always less expensive as with a new Computer where the smalles one is a 2800MHz Machine And then, there is definitivly a problem to get 32Bit Machines in Strasbourg. All Computer-Stores aelling only those 64Bit CPU's. Hell, my new Devel-Station (Dual-Opteron, 32 GByte of memory and 8 SCSI-Drives) is consuming nearly 600 Watt... (the machine has two 600Watt redunant Power-Supplys) And, since it need over 30 seconds to wake up from the SLEEP mode, I can not save any energy.
