Hardware Manufacturers with best available server machines

HP developed its own chipset for eight-processor Xeon machines, but the company now develops only four-processor Xeon servers.

High-end servers, used for essential tasks such as tracking company inventory and orders, are a choice market. The machines typically are used for years, and securing a place at the heart of a customer's network can lead to sales of storage equipment, services and lower-end servers.

Machines with dozens of processors and hundreds of gigabytes of memory are rarely used to tackle a single problem, though. More often they're split into independent partitions that handle separate jobs.

I placed my vote with compac, but that's only because I have a good compac laptop that works nicely. What pisses me off is that you don't have a "other" option. Personally speaking, I am but a poor student and thus can't aford high end servers. Though, I do have a couple of low end pentium 4 rackmounts purchased from a small arizona based company called visionman. I have had nothing but success with said servers and will continue purchasing vision boxes. Their tech support is prompt and they go out of their way to serve the customer. For normal computers, I prefer my own builds, no set manufacturer. And, if you say you know so much about computers, can you help me out with a multi disk linux box I want to build? for some reason, not all of the hdds will mount.

Dude. AMD shouldn't even be on the list, they don't build complete systems, and they only just now acquired the ability (Via purchase of ATI) to make chipsets and video processors.

Also, no manufacturer of complete systems is any good. None, zip, NADA.

Only way to get a system you can really trust is to put it together yourself. I suggest pairing Nvidia/Asus/AMD OR Nvidia/Tyan/AMD for the greatest server stability, performance, and scalability.

amd is out. other is in. topic is kinda.. out of this place.
