  Hi,

  I Suppose it depends on where your  homedirectories are.   and if
you are doing
something disk intensive.

 The X2200m2  with quad-core  Opterons  and  SAS  disks  ( 2 )   are
good and cheap  for
 serviing desktops.  But as you only  get two 15K  SAS drives   in the
chassie
you cant have  a workload with lots of disk I/O ,  You  need to either
have NFS mounted  homedirectories
or  use  the  the 4140  or the 4150  where you can have 8   SAS
disks.

All directorys are now on a E250 in a 3310 and will be moved to a E450
with internal drives once S10 u7 is out, I hope this will work for a 1-2
years more spendning the budget on the desktop for now.

So, the machine will only serve as a SunRay server with xVM running XP
on a few instances.

It depends on price then.

You could sneak 2 2200M2 in your budget to get the reliability.

Otherwise its X4150 - with 2.5Ghz as they seem best bang for buck
etc...

As a long shot - can you wait till xmas? Intel i7 is out around then
which will either push down the price of current stock or will provide
an very good setup.
