  I agree with Thomas.
IMHO, NT could be reliable for a one-instance-database-only server. That is, not recomended as stand-alone-do-everythings server, with name authentication, mail server, and so on for groupware.
For doing that, 3 NT boxes could work... For proof, you could take a look at the datapro's report on byte 10/97, about the new "little" box from Sun, which is said more powerfull than NT "big" servers. And Sun's advertisement shows that it is their little box... I myself experienced Sun Spark 20 with 15 persons development team always compiling and testing, with at least 3 Oracles instances, and groupware management, and that was usefull...
