server hardware requirement

gorshan — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:27:48 +0800

i run a small cyber cafe with 40 win XP pc. small town so can survive lah...

okay,my current server Win XP does nothing special except it is a print server and billing station.

now i m in the mood to be adventurous. i m thinking of getting a new server with all the works and convert the rest of my 40 pc to diskless clients.

software side theres xen citrix,vmware,ubuntu server,etc,etc. lan hardware cat 6 cabling and hub 100/1000mbps.

what i m not so sure about is the hardware requirement for the server. do i get the intel xeon or the amd-v processors.
is two 1Terrabytes hardisk enough? and what is the recommended motherboard,raid cards and network cards?

i know by experimenting will sooner or later gives me a good combination but budget and time is the big constraint at the moment.

any help from fellow forumers will be greatly appreciated.
