while they are all wonderful and everyone did a great job, I also vote for for #23. (My seven year old daughter thinks that 13 is the best, but she is not a member, just someone who knows what she likes)

A little something to keep in mind: is the software that you run, capable of using 2 processors? Just because there are 2 in the box, does not mean that you will get the power of 2. Most of the time the OS will divide up who is getting processor time and it is totally out of your hands. So in this case a single processor machine would most likely be best. Between IDE and SCSI, it use to be a question of how fast the drive spun at and how fast data was transfered back to the processor. The newer IDE drives at 7200 rpm are as fast as SCSI were a cuple of years ago. Keem in mind that SCSI (in a PC) require a special card that can add expense that you did not plan on. And lastly SCSI setup can be a tricky thing. Sometimes it matters what slot that the SCSI care is inserted into, is the device self terminating (this is a SCSI thing) and SCSI cables can be cost a pretty penny. regards, Philip

another for #28

my vote is for audity.

Steve, Thanks for the offer, but as Varian pointed out above, I ended up posting in the wrong place, though the first message sure sounded like an order/shipping issue. Very late yesterday, after many emails and such,E-On sent me an answer and things are back on track now.

I ordered it from the web page, last Thursday. The confirmation email was in English, so I assumed it was that US.

I have had several e-mails over the past several days go unanswered. I even called and all I got was an answering machine. And all I am trying to get is the shipping number for my Vue order. hmmmmmmmm.............
