>My department just migrated to NTServer form Novell and I have a question about performance. We have a Compaq 200Mhz server with 64 meg ram and 8 gig HD, Ntserver 4.0 w/service pack 3. The weird thing is that our old 486 66Mhz 64 meg ram compaq running novell seems faster when running my VFP 5.0 app when compared to the new NTServer. This server is running as a BDC in a medium size domain structure and I currently have 20 users on the system at any given time. My exe is run from the workstations which access the data on the server. Are there some basic suggestions that someone could offer me to optimize this new NT box to run applications faster.

We recently went from 75Mhz/40 RAM to 200Mhz/64 RAM Compaq with same software as yours, and I was surprised to see almost no speed improvement...what makes a HUGE difference though (with local EXE, server data) is local machines -- we've gone from 90 & 100 Mhz/32 RAM to 300 Mhz/64 RAM, and the difference is truly amazing :)
