Final question for now, I swear.  We have 2 terminal servers that are
load balanced using Windows 2000 DNS round robin.  Occasionally, but not
at the same time, either server hangs for a few seconds.  I am having
trouble locating if there is a specific program, but that is not my
question.  What I am wondering is if anyone can tell me if the following
server config. Is too small:

Windows 2000 SP2 server running TS and MF 1.8
Dual Intel PIII Xeon 1.0 with 4 GB of RAM.

Programs are:

MS Office XP with Frontpage and Publisher
WinZip
Acro Reader

Special programs are:

GoldMine 4 and 5
Daamgard Concorde XAL
Daamgard Axapta
Oracle Client
Outlook 2002 using Exchange

Any thoughts would be appreciated.  As I mentioned, we are load
balancing using DNS, and there are usually 55-70 users on each server at
any given time.  I have been told that these procs. Can handle over 100
users per server, but I have also been told that over 60 users on any
server is too much.

I am trying to pinpoint whether this is a problem or if it is just too
high of a load on the processors.

Thanks in advance, and I'm sorry for the onslaught of questions,
