Just an FYI - Dell is having a very hard time meeting their sales numbers.
I just bought 8 new Poweredge 1950s with dual 73gb SAS drives (can also do 500gb SATA for MUCH less) 8gb RAM, Tcp/ip offload engine nics and dual Woodcrest dual core Xeon 5150 procs for just under $4500 each.
Amazing machines, our app (very heavy BI type) was handling 250 concurrent connections on older dual proc 1850s servers (each) and now we are seeing better performance at over 550 concurrent users.... AMAZING!
