Doesn't matter much. I have NT server running on all of them. Ask about the motherboard and BIOS you paln to use. That has a bigger impact on installing NT Server. To my surprise I could not load NT workstation on a bargain basement "complete system" I got at Circuit City that uses a Cyrix MII cpu with integrated sound and video on the motherboard, but the exact same pc now happily runs NT Server. I just couldn't get the integrated video and sound to work under NT workstation. You would do best to stick with a name brand, known to be compatible motherboard. If it is going to integrate anything, I like it to have a SCSI controller. I personally prefer Intel for performance, but each server is fitted to a specific load, and if it is appropriate, I will build the lowest priced system.

Which brand/type of cpu should I choose? Intel, Amd or Cyrix? Thank You. Curious about the people moderating your messages?
