Base on HP 4HRs 1. Can I order a 2 new x Pentium III processor mixing with the current 2 x Pentium II Xeon processor? or
NO. Do not mix CPUs. All 4 CPUs MUST be the same. 2. Can I order a 2 new x Pentium II Xeon processor and install it only when my new SQL 2000 Server has become a production server half a year later. Would the process of adding these 2 new processor a smooth task? If you already have two CPUs in the system when adding the other two CPUs, you should not have a problem since the multiprocessor kernel is already on the system. I went from two to four without any problems. Reinstall SP when finished. 3. Any complication issue to mix 2 x Compaq RAM & 2 x Kingston RAM I would not mix RAM. I have done it before. Sometime I have problems, sometimes I do not. But for a SQL server, I would not. 4. Do you know if SQL is a processor intensive application or a more RAM resourceful intensive application? If I have budget problem, which item would be more important? RAM intensive. Have more than enough RAM. Add up the total size of your databases, have that about at least in RAM + 128 MB for Windows. Besides, RAM is cheap. DB 1500 MB Windows 128 MB Total 1628 MB + allow more for DB growth.
