>>1) Can FoxPro take advantage of multiple processors? Can it take advantage of the multiple core processors?

>>a. Should we invest money in the latest processors, or will FoxPro be unable to utilize them?
>not really. go for memory and disk.
>BUT West Wind OTOH uses many vfp processes, so go for the best. Also "worker scenarios" can be implemented, here cores/mult. cpu's help.

>>3) Is there a limit to the amount of memory FoxPro can utilize?
>Yes, but disk caching helps as well - esp. on 64-Bit systems
>
>>a. If we put 12 GB of memory into a server, will it help?
>Yes.
>
>>4) Will FoxPro run on 64 bit Windows 7?
>Vfp yes, FPW no.
>
>>5) Is 50% utilization leave a reasonable amount of free space?
>yes. up to 80 is usually ok.
>
>>6) Will FoxPro run on MS Windows 2008?
>Yes
>
>>7) Will West Wind run on MS Windows 2008?
>No reason not to...
>
>>8) Should we upgrade the versions of both FoxPro and West Wind?
>Yes - esp. if you need outsiders IMHO

Can you talk a bit about the necessary changes moving to a 2008 server.
