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...

Thanks in advance,

Marc
