Multiple threads (i.e., lots of traffic) show the P3 blowing OSX out of the water by an order of magnitude, at least under 10.0.4. OSX was 50% slower than that with 10.0.3.If you can get a good deal on the P3, you're expecting a lot of concurrent webcat traffic, and you're comfortable dinking with Redhat, I would get the P3.If you have lots of PC servers in house, that should be a factor in your decision as well.I reeeeeally like the prospect of running OSX, solely because I have a better excuse to buy the latest and greatest hardware to serve with, and can trickle the old server to workstation use. Better re-use of IT $$$, doncha know... We're planning a transition to replace an aging 250GB Sun file server for similar reasons (as well as an 7x performance increase :) ).Based on our tests, I'm about 90% sure that installing an OSX server with the fastest hardware available would actually server SLOWER than our G4/500 running OS9 at current traffic levels (500k hits/month).
