It is the root of the problem for those machines. My linux and solaris

Uhhh... the base Dell has 256MB of RAM and if you strip it down it's 
$3.3k, still $300 more than the Xserve... Wow so you added some RAM, still 
not 8x as much as the Xserve comes with 1 Gig standard. Hmmm. maybe you 
need to re read the rest of the thread. it was about Windows, you didn't 
say to get rid of Windows and use Linux.... Maybe if you paid attention 
you wouldn't come off as an asshat :)
