I'll add to it...
I remember installing Dual PPro HP NetServer LXe Pro's on a few ships about 1998-1999
Huge, rolling-on-floor monsters, that some genius decided was well suited to put on a shelf in a rack!
Stack of drives in a RAID5 Array, HP RAID controller, running Windows NT 4.0 and Oracle 8.03 dB server.
What a pain those thing were! They were HUUUUGE, but pretty dang fast for the period.
And man, were they EXPENSIVE!
Later on, the Proliant 1850R (which became the DL380 series) was used, as the Dual PIII's were FINALLY able to keep up with the dual PPro's! Took 'em a while, and almost triple the mHz to get there, too!
