A further thought - is your existing server a Terminal Server? I just wondered if that might explain the dual processor server you have already.<br />
<br />
Certainly if you are using terminal services a dual processor system might not be a bad idea.

Whchever way you go I would certainly recommend the HP Proliant Range. &nbsp;The reason I say this is I have implemented three across a vpn with RAID 5. &nbsp;All very easy to manage and configure and no problems with hardware have ever occured.<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have an dual processor Dell power edge with Windows NT server. I am thinking of buying a new server. The server mainly has a database and accounting applications and is in network with 5 workstations where the employee uses these applications.<br />
<br />
My question is do I really need a dual processor server ? Or a single processor server is fine ? How about Xeon Processor ?<br />
<br />
Also if I want to run these database and accounting application on windows 2000/2003 server do I need terminal server license or i can make it run and use it on the workstations without the terminal server license.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Recommend a Server.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
