Hi VSJ,
I have another suggestion:
divide the 'server' tasks between the 2 old server and use the new fast
one for the workstations. The new faster machine will be great for the
desktop user and the 2 old servers should be able to handle www, samba,
firewall, etc between them.

why waste good 'tested' hardware. Linux can put it do good use!
Cheers,
Kev
