It will be good to upgrade to SQL2k, because concurrency is an issue with Access
2000, and it will not scale up very well.

  Thanks.

  They are Dell 1550 for WEB server (IIS 5.0) and 2550 for Access 2000 (intend
to upgrade to SQL Server) (they have a total of 4 boxes).

  And I intend to recommend installing CF5 on a box that has most RAM and Access
db on the box that has second most RAM.

  >With 5 to 10 concurrent users the box will run, but will be somewhat kludgy,
  >especially if the SQL DB is on the same box (not recommended)
  >
  >Recommended minimum RAM is 1 GB
  >
  >If the Existing RAM is ECC RAM, the upgrade will be around $450.00, but is
just
  >DR RAM, the upgrade will be about half that to bring it up to 1 GB
  >
  >If they use Oracle DB, then the recommended RAM is 4 GB, minimum
