  Good morning all,

  We have recently taken delivery of a 4 processor blade server which we have on loan for a month

  I've installed Windows 2003 and SQL Server 2000 SP3a on this box, but wanted to know if there were any free databases which could be used to really test the performance, mainly to get some figures which will dictact if we purchase one of these new servers or stick with our existing 2 processor blades.

  If anyone has any suggestion i'd be most appreciative

  Regards,

  Chris

  Hi Chris -

  There are a couple of tools in the Resource Kit that you can use.  See http://www.sql-server-performance.com/resource_kit.asp

  for a description. Not free, but you may already own a copy.
