For static image hosting like that, SCSI (or SAS) simply cannot be beat. The differences between SATA are still beyond what I'd expect due to specs - A 10krpm SCSI or SAS drive will simply wipe the floor with a 10krpm SATA drive in the real world.

Ok.. So you are saying no on the Quadcore.. Go with the Xeon with the SCSI option..
Even though the current server you are seeing these results on are already a Xeon with SCSI.. I can forsee about the same reslts as what I posted above?
No?
