1. Watch closely your performance monitor. Observe if the processor is pushing the limits; if not, RAM will certainly give you the best performance gains as you can get a lot of improvement out of caching, etc etc etc. If you are doubling up SQL and the like on that server, don't. Keep that guy running lean and you will have no problems.

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?
