Hi, We currently have a 'lowly' P75 (with no second level cache) serving about 165 users for POP3 mail, it hardly breaks out into a sweat - every time I use the machine the load average is rarely about 0.5 - And that's with 165 users who insist on checking for mail 'every single minute'... :-) I run samba on my local machines, and I've always found it to be very stable - I don't use it for printing though - but I can't see why that should be a big problem...
