I agree with the benefits of being able to wave benchmark papers around and
saying "But look what they HAD to do !"

The line from one of the HP ones (1M tpcc) that I really liked was:

Most of the space on the arrays in the tested system was unused during

the performance tests, but is available to satisfy the 8-hour log and

60-day storage requirements.

If you want performance, you put just a thin stripe of active data on any one of those 180GB disc drives that the accountants love to buy because they're so cheap.

what's really helpful about these, are the server tweaks made (if you deploy on win32).

check out http://www.tpc.org/results/FDR/TPCC/dell_2650_261103_fdr.pdf

Pg 170 - there's a list of all of the services that are disabled/stopped - 24 in all.
Pg 224 - the section of the MS diagnostics report lists that provides a detail list of the services. lots of unneccesary "features".
