Thank you all for the input.

 To clarify, If I have 20-25 users hitting this dedicated SQL server (DELL
2850 2.0 GB RAM, Dual Processors) which has the OS on a Raid 1 setup, would I
be better off with RAID 1+0 or Raid 1 for the data partition. Should I put
the TLogs on the OS or on the data partition?

TX again
