Indeed, get as much RAM as you can into
the system. Bear in mind however, that if you are using SQL Server 2000
Standard that even if you put 10GB into the box, it can only ever use 2GB
leaving the remainder for the O/S – it will never use any more than 2GB. SQL Server 2005 does not have this
limitation. N From:
[email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Coughlin Rachel, > …if anyone has
any add'l performacing tuning tips for Farcry (other than caching which seems
to help a lot) I'm all ears! With the larger sites I have deployed I
have found one common requirement repeatedly. Because you are now dealing
with a database driven website the DB is doing a lot of the work. My
clients (so far) are using MSSQL and I have found that the need for RAM is
always the case (especially if your client insists on running the SQL server on
the same box as CF). Fortunately RAM is one of the cheaper hardware
requirements these days. Also, if you plan to cache a lot (which is
suggested), you’ll need RAM for that on the CF box (again, one of the
cheaper hardware requirements). Every FarCry site I’ve launched has
been on multiprocessor servers (usually XEON). But to be honest, with
proper caching techniques I’ve rarely seen the need for the extra CPU
horsepower (depending on any 3rd-party apps/resources required on
the box or website). Bottom line: RAM. For most production
servers I usually give SQL 4 GB. I’ve tried using 2GB on a few
servers (and that may be plenty ofr your setup), but you really need to watch
the system resources. One SQL server I had running decided to lock-up
after a couple months when it couldn’t get any more RAM (that site has
thousands of pages and requires about 1.8GB RAM just for SQL). Rebooting
temporarily fixed the problem until we increased the RAM to 4GB (3GB would
probably have been enough, but we played it safe). Hope that helps, Jeff Coughlin Web Application Developer
