Ok, you are scaring the hell out of me. Is it for sure this new Dell will lock up on me under high load? I just got the new server so it can handle the high load we expect to have once our new ad campaign starts: radio, tv, billboards and busses. (i like the busses the most) Anyway, if this locks up (database server) while we are getting hit we will be hurting. Can anyone offer any help here?
