|Yeah I would look for a 4-8 way COMPAQ or HP server on ebay and kick the RAM way
|up, if you can't spread this across several strategically placed 2 way servers.
| One alternative if you have durons is to run some of the apps local on the
|duron. This would require a pretty hefty NFS server and a well designed network
|though.
