Know your workload though before you call, e.g. how much disk space you need, how large your databases and what percentage of the data is used on a regular basis so you can scope the amount of memory you want, etc.Thu, 07 Mar 2013 13:03:57 GMTopc.threehttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1428068-1550-1.aspxHello,I am trying to build a sql server. It can probably be good enough for a small business and run on MS SQL Server 2008 R2. Can anyone recommend me with the brands, processors, motherboards, etc...? Maybe cost $1,000 less would be better.Thanks,Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:38:48 GMTvu_tran764
