I agree with you michael....the excuse (reason) i was given is that they did
not trust sql64 at the time...just out of beta

so im trying to figure out why the system has come to a crawl...i know i
have to re-write alot of the stored procs
but the system waas moving along ok....and all of a sudden, come to a crawl
running same as before this super slow down
Nas Drives working ok, Network speaking ok
public net is 10/100, private network 10/100/1000
hard ware is 4 cpu...sql has 3, 4g mem (more mem required) 2.8 cpu's

so any information is welcome...
thanks
mike
