Hi all ... wondering if there are any good performance benchmarks out there that I could use. Here's my scenario. I'm running SQL 7 on an Windows 2000 box, a 4-processor 550MHz with 4GB RAM. I'm wondering what performance increase I would get just switching to SQL Server 2000 on my current platform. Then I wonder how much more performance I would get at throwing the SQL Server 2000 on an 8-processor Xeon 700MHz with 4GB RAM also. I would next expect a double increase in performance as # CPUs and increased speed do not 1-1 translate into performance. Hopefully there are some resources out there I could use to estimate my performance increases (in broad terms).

Thanks all
