Time taken by the processor

Question:- One system has following specifications

Intel Xeon 7.6 GHz
Ram = 2GB
Cache = 2 MB
No of users = 500
Network switches = 1 Giga
Operating system = Linux

Other system has

Intel Xeon 7.6 GHz
Ram = 2GB
Cache = 2 MB
No of users = 500
Network switches = 1 Giga
operating system = windows 2003

How much time this processor will take to process the request of single user?
Whats the formula for computing

Thats a good question but you may want to recheck your processor frequencies. I think the fastest XEONs are 3.6Ghz.

How fast is the network? What throttling is applied? What is the collision rate? Which version linux? What hard drive make and model? How is it connected? How much RAM in each server?

See where I am going with this yet?

Sounds a lot like a question off a test? Or some type of homework.

Ttot=Tcom + Tproc
Tcom=total communication time
Tproc=total processing time

Since it's in a LAN, Tcom ~=0, therefore Ttot~=Tproc
Now the question is... PROCESS WHAT REQUEST??? Is it a login, a print, a SQL query, or calculating the 94,563,287th decimal of PI?? How many such simultaneous requests?
