I went from: NT 4 w/ SP6, CF 4.5, Website Pro 2.0, SQL 7, P2 500 X2, 512 MB RAM
to: Windows 2000 w/ SP2, CF 5.0, Website Pro 3.0, SQL 2000, P3 1000 X2, 1GB RAM. Some where along the lines the was a BIG difference. My pager does not go off every night, less over time, I can take a vacation now (LOL), less complaints, very stable system, CF not a memory hog. As for using unused RAM to increase performance... I have no clue, sorry.
