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.
