Considering CF can't use over 1.5 gb memory give or take, I'd say you would have plenty for other applications, I wouldn't expect your applications to run any faster then they are now. Separation is the best alternative, expecially with mail since you need to run anti virus against it. That's about the most memory intensive app you could have running on the box. We run mysql and CF and IIS on a single box without problems. How many visitors are you talking about.
I think our biggest hurdle is thread allocation. Only running CF Standard is becoming troublesome when using cfdocument. That tag sucks ass, and I don't expect things to be much better in Scorpio unless same with CF7, you go with enterprise. -- Casey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
