A friend of mine has done benchmarking and claims that the 
price/performance curve is at a minimum with 10 clients per server, 
using very basic "entry level" servers: any Pent IV with 2 GB RAM and 
SATA disks. (This combination is cheapest, he claims, only when you 
don't have to pay for multiple server licenses from a certain well known 
software manufacturer...)
Can anyone verify or contradict his idea?
Thanks,
