Memory should be ok - 4Gb physical with 4096 - 4096 swap file (swap is on c: drive which is NTFS).. Not sure how much faster it would be on a FAT partition on its own SCSI channel...
Rick, I'll get all the details from your previous post ASAP..

I agree 100% that if you haven't got enough free memory things really don't perform well. But you can extend things just a bit further by minimising paging and getting everything else reasonably optimal. Then you obviously also look at things like unnecessary processes (ctfmon, virus monitor, altiris agent etc etc) that don't have to run for everyone. 10-15 MB per user x 50 users is often worth doing. If we're giving Angela a system makeover, we might as well do the lot ;-) regards, Rick Ulrich Mack Commander Australia On 1/9/07, Andrew Wood <andrew.wood@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hmm...

I would start with: Are you using a SCSI RAID system in your server with a Write-Cache enabler?
