I have recently been told that an app is running poorly because
of a sql server config. This is crazy cause it's a 4 zeon 900+
4 Gb Ram Dual Raid 5 blah blah overkill almost. But it only has
about two hundred users on it.

I am looking for some good reference stats that says:
recommended memory/user
processor per transaction
server config /...
upper range for sql server

these types of recommendations.

Any suggestions...


Thanks

Your system seems good enough to run most SQL installations, but really the most important thing is the transaction load. How many transactions are hitting the server?

When you say it is running poorly, what exactly do you mean? Do you have a benchmark, was it running fast, then one day, poof, it started running poorly? Does it run poorly all the time, or just certain times of the day? Have you run perfmon to find out where the bottlenecks are? What is the application architechture? N-Tier?

I think what you are looking for is really different for every system, and takes testing and monitoring to determine. You need a benchmark, without one, how do you know it is slow?

This is at least something that might help you though:
