We originally set up a single machine -- dual processor, 1GB RAM, to run both MS SQL Server and IMAIL. Because we were very small, this configuration worked very very well -- EXTREMELY WELL -- for a very long time. There was some initial fine-tuning, but once that was done, it has worked great ever since. (So don't flame me for having a non-recommended configuration, please!).
Business has grown... that's a good thing. However, the growth was a little faster than we anticipated. Obviously, that has put somewhat of a strain on the above box. We need to get by until the end of the year if possible, using this box as configured, at which time we'll be breaking out iMail to it's own dedicated system. Because this is a dual-processor machine, my immediate question is, is there any way to set up iMail so that it uses only ONE of the two processors, so that we can dedicate SQL Server to the other one? It's not "complete isolation", because they'd still be sharing memory and disk drives, but at least the contention for CPU cycles would be isolated. Is this possible? AGAIN -- I already know that our configuration is well below best-practices... so please don't come down on me. We knew this going in, and the configuration served us well for over three years. We just need to eek out a few more months...
