Hello Did you use 'performance monitor' to try to detect where is the = bottle-neck ? (cpu, hard disks, scsi controller, ram, swap, io buffers for network, = hard disk, memory allocation, ...)
This can help finding the source of your problem and point exactly what = to upgrade first ... (why changing cpu if cpu never reach more than 10% = .... or disk sub system if disk queue workset never reach maximum recommanded values...) Some possibilities (depending of your current disks setup, if we talk = only for disk sub-system) Are you in raid ? 0, 1, 5, ... What is your physical/logical disks/partitions architecture swap in raid 1 separated physical drives from data and os ? and/or Os in own raid 1 separated physical disk xmail data on its own raid 1 physical disk or not ? But first a good 'perfomance monitor' trace is allways the best to = determine the faulty source ...
