    I'm trying to find out the hardware requirements & recommendations for SQL2008, but have not found it. I have found some requirements per CPU, or how much diskspace is used, such things. What I wish to know is how many CPU's can be used, or how much memory can be adressed, Clustering requirements, things like that.

    I have no difficulty finding this for SQL2K and SQL2K5. Where oh where is this info for SQL 2008?

    It's in Books Online. Title of the page is "Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2008"

    Help url (for books online, not web) is ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v10/MS.SQLSVR.v10.en/s10sq_GetStart/html/09bcf20b-0a40-4131-907f-b61479d5e4d8.htm

    Ah, it is, but not in a format I expected: OS maximum instead of a fixed number.

    Tnx.

    It depends on the OS and edition since those have limits. If they listed each one, then it would be a much more confusing chart.

    Web reference: CPU and memory
