Hardware Recommendation

Hello,
I plan to run Microsoft CRM, Navision SQL, and Project Server off the
same SQL box. What would you recommend hardware wise?
Dual 2.8 Xeon? How much RAM? 2GB? 4GB?
Thanks in advanceFirst, put as much memory as you can afford in the box. Be aware that
anything over 4GB will require Enterprise Edition to take advantage of the
extra RAM. Dual Procs are a minimum. Go with procs with more cache rather
than faster procs, but only by 300-500 MHz. Then we geet to the disk
system. Definitely separate your SQL logs and data onto different spindles.
RAID 1 or 1+0 for logs will improve performance significantly. RAID 1+0 for
data if you can afford it, RAID5 otherwise, but it will impact performance.
