[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 198948"] I am going to respectfully disagree here. None of the uses are even vageuly CPU intensive. A mini could handle 20-30 people easily for those tasks except perhaps the website. Share acess may not be blazing but that would be true on the Intel mini as well since it is a hard drive constrint, not a cpu one. We are not talking remote desktop here. File/Printer shares plus sendmail is nothing. That said you might wait for the Intel Mini due to the Gb ethernet. That is not critical and should not effect performance unless your file share use is really high though. EDIT: Where CPU use is important is remote desktop, dynamic websites, hosted applications, and database use. [/QUOTE]
