For example, if your organization runs all Microsoft, then switching to Linux is probably a mistake. What kind of support can you get from your IT department (or is it just you)? I find that administration of *NIX machines is easier, but that's just because I have much more experience with them. I find them to be more stable, reliable, and faster. > This server is used only as web application server.

If your performance degrades after a 10-user load, I can think of a few possibilities: 1. Your webapp simply requires lots of resources, and no amount of RAM will fix it: fix your app 2. Your webapp is poorly-written and no amount of RAM will fix it: fix your app 3. Your database is poorly optimized and a good DBA could help a lot: fix your db 4. Microsoft Windows is limiting your incoming connections due to licensing restrictions. I don't believe "Server" versions of MS Windows do this, but it's worth double-checking. The poor performance you observe in this case would be due to the throttling of incoming connections, not due to anything the webapp/db can control. > I'm hoping to utilize the majority fo the 50G's to provide the best > performance for the user. What are you doing with all that RAM?
