    You're looking for 'better' performance - what is it running on now?

      Thanks for the reply.
      Its running on Intel(R) Xeon 3.0GHz
      with 1 GB Ram and running windows 2000 SP4
      with 7GB free space in the primary partition.
      @ this configuration when 10 people starts accessing the response time increases and my application throws time out message. This machine has a MSSQL 2000 database along with IIS running only 1 application.

      Thanks & Regards

        And have you baselined this current setup?

        Baseline: as it is a Windows server, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to pull up the Task Manager, and then capture the Performance and Networking tabs during one of these timeouts. Are either/both at 100%? You should then concentrate on expanding that area - RAM/processor for the Performance and NIC/cabling/switch/router for Networking.

          Hi

          I have checked it and found that aspnet_wp.exe is using the maximum cpu. it reaches 100%. and the cpu time for this process is showing as 68:39:33 and counting. i am using asp.net 2.0. it uses a memory of 203,608(max) and 198,236(min) and it fluctuates between them. How can i solve this issue. any idea on my problem.

          Thanks & Regards

            Great, I'd recommend the focus of your upgrades be on RAM and CPU expansion.
