Re: Application Fonts on SBS Server rather than workstations



So possibly just upgrading all the PCs to higher CPUs, faster ram (i.e.
DDR2) and possibly SCSI 10k rpm HDs would be the better solution for the
workstations due to the way the applications process fonts, etc?

Just trying to get ideas to make these design workstations be instant rather
than time consumers. Then I will focus on the SBS deployment for all their
data file, backup and e-mail needs.
