We have just upgraded our web server to a twin processor 12Gb RAM machine. (from a 4gb machine) Problem is, we are still getting time outs at certain times of the day.

We have "heard" it is best to split the OS (Now using Enterprise, not standard) onto one CPU and the SQL db on another?

With only 1000 hits a day to our web application, we would have thought our server would be very quick with this upgrade.

Any ideas to help, before our customers complain too much!

Thanks.

It may be that the server itself is doing just fine but the network connectivity is the issue.

It could also be a query from your site is taking too long to return a response to the program and needs to be looked at.

Start up the event logs and get some data points. I'll bet the RAM and processor are doing just fine and the issue is with the network or SQL side of the equation. Watch the number of connections, paging, etc.

I would look into how efficient your SQL queries are. An old 286 could handle 1000 hits a day.
