Guest Luiz Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Hi, I would like to know how can I get a better performance from my Windows Server 2003, with 4 GB of RAM. In Advanced Tab, from Computer Properties, in Performance, must I set Processor Scheduling and Memory Usage to Programs? Thanks. Luiz

This depends on what you are using your server for. If you are using it as a workstation (so you are using it directly to run applications) then set it to "Programs". If on the other hand you are using it as a file, database or email server then leave it at "Background services". What you are doing with this setting is providing a hint to Windows as to how the server is to be used. You get the same settings on a workstation, but normally for a workstation you would set it to "Programs." Hope this helps. -- Brian Cryer http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian
