HCL lacking current Dell & HP servers

BarryG
Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading our ASL 3.x box (Dell 350, 800MHz pIII) to something which will run 5.x w/ 3-6Mbits HTTP traffic on our web servers, with IPS & full accounting, and possibly a low-traffic, occasional use, VPN.

I've noticed none of the Dell servers in the HCL are currently available.

Need a 1U box, so for Dell, that currently means one of the following:
PE1850 (too expensive)
PE SC1425 (SATA, 1 or 2 Xeons)(hyperthreading?)(no nics??)
PE750 (SATA, 1 P4 CPU)

Or, HP:
DL140 (Dual Xeon)(This is on HCL)
DL145 (Dual Opteron, IDE/ATA100)
DL320 (IDE/ATA 100, P4)
DL360 w/ SATA (1-2 Xeons)

Anyone tried any of these servers?

Any feeling as to which is faster for ASL:
Dual Opteron
or
Dual Xeon w/ HT
?

I know the Opteron is generally faster at a lot of things but dunno about ASL, esp compared to Dual + HT.

Thanks,
Barry

    Anyone using the Dell PE SC1425 or the HP DL145 or DL320??

    We need to upgrade our firewall in the next week or two... Not sure if the Delll 750 is fast enough, and the HPs are cheaper.

    Maybe we'll go with the DL140 as it's on the HCL.

    Thanks,
    Barry
