We are running the server in Terminal-Server-Mode because some of our people want to run simulations on it too. This is the reason i did install Sophos Antivirus (we have a policy for installing it) and this works fine. Additional Software is at the moment Borland C++Builder6 and Compaq Visual fortran 6.5. Regarding benchmarks i transferred the static tables from our old database-server (dual PIII with 768 MB RAM and one 36 GB disk for the database) via a database link. While having both processors on 100% and a load of above 6 on our old server (SuSe 8.0) the new one only was at 20% with 2 processors (2 XEONs make 4 logical processors) completely idle. I hope i can benchmark a Windows2003 against an actual Linux-Distribution in the future.
