Hardware requirement

Hi !
We have a sql server 2000, IIS and windows 2000 op-sys.
1133 Mhz cpu, 512 Mb RAM, raid5 scsi disk.
One prod database size 1164 Mb
Two test databases size 45 Mb
The server have 4 user in production and 1 programmer.
Is this server to small ?
If yes, what should we upgrade ?
Regards Jan RockstedtConsidering that your database and number of users is within the limitations
for MSDE (2GB data, 5 concurrent users), and MSDE is designed to run on a
desktop machine, I would say that your server might be overspec'd rather
than underspec'd.
Do you have any performance issues with it?

The server is allocating 560 Mb of 512 Mb, and using the swap file.
Is the any recomendation of memory alocating in SQL server 2000 ?

Dynamically configure SQL server memory
Minimum 41 MB
Maximum 388 MB
Minimum query memory (KB) 1024

mostly IIS that does that) you can limit SQL Server to 340 MB or less, or
you can buy some more memory. Memeory is quiet cheap these days.
