Hello group,

I am preparing for R*S lab and at this stage I am arranging R&S lab
equipment. I am not thinking to buy real equipment but dynamips server.

Can anyone advise which of the options below would be the right one ,
regardless of cost. I need a good performance.

Option 1
======
Dual-core XEON 3.0 GHZ processor, 4GIG RAM, 72Ghz Hard-disk (HP ML580 G3
server)

Option 2
======
Single Quad Core 3.0 Ghz processor, 4 GIG RAM, 72Ghz Hard-disk (Dell or
local brand)

Any consideration for low noise server? I know HP server is going to make
noise.

All I need is to run dynamips on this server. I will be using IEWB 5x to
start with and later on other vendor.

Thanks in Advance
