I don't recall exactly where, but there was a review written recently that
indicated an average 20% performance increase just from upgrading an existing
Win2k SQL 2k box to Win2003.
Apparantly, this had to do with VASTLY improved file i/o and network interface
implementation.
Anyone here rmember this review and/or have the link to it?|||Hi,
