Server Sizing for Flash Interactive Media 3

[Survey Man]

Hello,

I can't get anyone in sales to answer this question. Specs say any Windows
2003 32bit OS and recommends 4MB RAM. But I would like to put a powerful
server dedicated to this function but don't know if this software is capable of
Hyperthreading. I can have one or come CPU's all with multiple cores.
Likewise I could install Windows 2003 Enterprise Server and put in a lot more
memory.

Obviously I don't want to throw money into processors, Enterprise OS or more
RAM if this software won't take advantage of it.

Any help?

Thank you?:confused;Text

Okay here is an answer to my own post based upon what I've learned.

A single License of FIM3 will handle up to (2) physical processors limited to
Dual Core. You cannot use (2) CPU's with Quad Core processors, this would
require an additional server license on the same physical server.

FIM3 was also designed to minimize memory use. 4GB is recommended but 8GB RAM
is preferred. The later of course will require an upgrade to Windows 2003 OS
Enterprise Version.

My configuration below on a single server will handle streaming up to 1000
concurrent users with no problem.

Dell 2950 2U rack mount

(2) Dual Core Intel Xeon 3.0's with 4MB cache each. 1333Mhz Buss.

Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Version, 32bit.

8GB DDR2 ECC Fully buffered RAM, 677Mhz.

(4) 300GB 15k SAS hard drives in RAID 10 configuration (600GB effective use).

Hope this helps all who search for server specs.

Absolutely this helps. Thanks... the specs Adobe lists are pretty scant on details.
