Well, I wouldn't say "no idea". But you know, we do goal planning and stuff and things just "come up" because of one need or another. We've also got some ideas for apps that we'd like to develop, and these are the two apps that would dramatically increase the load on the server - but still not that much in my opinion. We only have a user base of about 400, and many or most of them don't access these potential applications every day. We've actually got pretty decent hardware at this point for a single server environment - poweredge 2850, dual xeon processors at something like 2.4ghz, 4 gig of RAM, etc. And we're going to be moving to a "multi-instance" installation of coldfusion very soon to help separate out some of the applications from each other.
