Harlan, I am curious about the Revit Server specs. We had asked for these way back when and never really got a straight answer. We have an array of configurations on one CS and 20 LS. Are your specs just for the CS? LS specs should be far less important but still interested in what the factory would have to say...

The specs are the same no matter if it is a central server or a local server, both have the same requirements, but its based on the number of users accessing it. A central server will probably have more people access it than a local, but you can see that the distinction is made at 100 concurrent users. The only difference in the requiements thought is the harddrive speed and memory.
