The benchmark to set up for this is
Quad 100Mbit ethernet
AMD K6/3-400
Motherboard with a pre K6/3 bios so that Linux and not NT set the cache right
Symbios or Adaptec controllers and a disk array that has very deep tagging
so that NT can't make good use of it
No hardware raid "NT unfortunately wasn't able to make good use of the disks"
16Mb of RAM (32 at max)
All mounted -o noatime "We couldn't find a way to tell NT not to do metadata
updates"
