Here is the H/W and database configuration in this case.
System: - HP Proliant ML 370 G4 Server ( Intel Xeon 3.2 GH on Intel
7520 Chipset; Dual CPU capable )
RAM: - 4 GB DDR2 ECC
HDD: - 2 * 73 GB SCSI ( 15000 RPM ) RAID 0
DB size: - 20 GB
Downtime: - 2 hours a day i.e. morning 5 to 7 AM.
Parallel queries: Parallel Query processing runs only on multiple
processors. In our case only one processor is available to SQL Server.
RAM: it is an OS issue and not of SQL Server. There is no RAM support
specification in SQL Server (EE / SE). By the way, OS used by us is Win
2003 Server EE.
FYI, we have searched MS SQL Server books online + seen the differences
of SE and EE given by MS + asked our local vendor but he knows nothing.
And the queries run by us are select queries with joins on around 5 -1
0 tables. So the picture is still murky and Microsoft is not answering.
And Mr Sommarskog, we do not want anyone to search for us. We are
looking for very specific answers and we will be thankful if someone
can help us (we feel others have also faced same problems.)
Thanks
Nitin Goyal
