| This is probably addressed to Huw (you are hosting this site, right?) but I was just wondering the specs on the application & DB server. How much memory, CPU, etc. Just curious. |

| I know SQL server makes good use of >1 processor (even if the per-processor licensing model makes this painful!), but does IIS? |

Thats good news, I'm moving my intranet site to a dual Xeon 700, 1 GB of Ram, 1MB L2 cache, 4 SCSI HD in a RAID array, and a 14 inch monitor. Oh yeah, and a mouse without a wheel.
Its a welcomed improvement, currently I have a p3 800 with 128 MB ram. And it runs awful. I can barely edit files over the network its so slow. |

your biggest problem there is only having 128mb of ram.
I wouldn't bother withe the added expense of a scsii raid array, ide is just as fast and reliable these days, and a darn site cheaper |

It was purchased before i transferred into this position and I came accross it the other day...Im moving the 2 dbs elsewhere and taking over the server. oh yeah, and it has 2 nic cards working in tandem. |

It always seems to me that companies spend the $ on expensive servers to increase network speed, but always forget to upgrade the itty bitty little 10mb network (cards, cable, hubs, switches.. etc, etc)
It took us forever to convince IT that the issues were network related and not PC or server related. Once we were fully upgraded to the 100mb fiber network, all our problems went away. |

Don't get me started on that one! Our infrastructure is setup for 100Mb ethernet...the hubs and routers, though, are only 10Mb...for the entire router and hub, not per port. If you're working at night when everyone else is sleeping then you're good to go. Might as well be gigaethernet, but during the day, forget about it!
Supposedly, the servers get upgraded first (we're migrating to AD in the next few months) then the network. I can complin for days.... |
