Before you go to the management for this, do consider the amount of network bandwidth you require as well. My experience says, with 10+ users, even if you get a decently powerful server, You would be needing very fast network as well. even a 100Mbps switch with no chaining (i.e. all machines directly connected to it) may crawl. Prefrably Gigabit optical network would be required. No way you can achive this on a Wireless network (802.11 or 802.16 based). Kapil Sethi Note: Visualize and pen down on paper your rough estimates on per user requirment of each client for server and network. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
