Thanks.
I have been using a server c WS 2003 for the last 2 yrs. Now my IT guy (who suggested WS 2003 and the server I purchased) says I have to buy a new server 2 yrs later in order to run the new AC. My last server cost me $2000 and $2500 for him to get it all set up on a Saturday. Whenever I have problems (which is not often) I have to call him up. I am going to switch back to P2P and get a good PC and run the small network myself. So from the previous conversation, it sounds like an I7 running W8 pro is the way to go. There really is virtually no price difference on the Dell website between I5 and I7, or between W8pro and W7pro. 2 1Tb harddrives in a RAID 1 config. Hopefully, Guardian Angels will help me move my database to the new machine. Any thoughts?
