I can give you an opinion on your first question. My experience shows that more RAM is more beneficial and when added to the fact that adding more RAM is far less disruptive and less costly than adding an extra processor, that is the route I would. One other important point, if you don't already it is good to keep an eye on your ColdFusion ERROR logs (I upper cased error because we often forget that that is what they are for, logging errors). Code that produces errors can often easily out pace any upgrades.

OK - new year, new beginnings - I am doing all I can to advance my own skills and improve my services... Couple questions (Don't know if anyone can help with the 2nd question and beyond, but hey - everyone on this list is a brilliant web guru so why not ask right?) 1. Does 2 CPUs on a Windows 2k server running CF 5 enterprise make more sense than adding RAM? I have a Compaq 1600r server, with 512 megs of RAM, and one 500 mhz CPU... 2. Several prospective clients want someone skilled in PHP and MySQL... would there be conflicts running PHP on my server alongside CF? 3. If I teach myself PHP can I co-mingle PHP and CF on the same page? 4. PHP - cgi version or Server API version?
