Hi all,

I have 2 machines that I need to setup, one with Server and one with unlimited. One machine is a relatively old P3 500M, the other is a new P4C 1.7G. Both have 512M and the same type of hard drive.

My question is, am I right in assuming that unlimited would best be installed on the P4? I'm assuming that server is more disk than processor intensive, but I'd like confirmation.

I do plan to upgrade the old clunker, but not for a while if I can avoid it.

Cheers,

Sean.

You should be fine with that setup.

I have a P3 550 running Lotus Notes Server (database & WEB), FileMaker Pro 5 Unlimited (Custom Web Publishing) and FMP Server. It's pretty solid. It get's kind of slow at times, but it's holding up.

You shouldn't have any major problems.

You're running Unlimited and Server on the same box?

I'm surprised your finding that stable. I tried that once (as an experiment only) just to see how it would go and performance was abysmal. And prone to crashing.

Given my 2 choices. the question is, which box for which application?

Cheers,

Sean.

Yup!

It's pretty solid! You just have to configure NT correctly for performance. If you tell it to gove more processing power & momory to upfront applications and not the background apps, it works like a charm.

I would use the P4 for the Unlimited and the P3 for the server. The Unlimited application will need most of the processing power.

This is what I found to be true.
