need help performance issue on server

  • I m having a server whos hardware config. is 32GB RAM ,8 cpu.

    there is a load of around 200 connections on the server,due to which CPU utillisation goes 100%

    and my sp_configure is

    name minimum maximum config_value run_value

    my question is ,what should be the MAXDOP settings in above case & why?

    which will improve server performance.

    Change the MaxDOP setting to 1 or 2 and see if you're gaining performance improvements. a value of 0 means a process can use all 8 processors. since all processes fight to get all 8 processors, there is a performance degradation. changing it to a lower value means processes will use lower number of CPUs and hence contention will be less.
