Hey guys,
So I recently moved the amazing charts database from my desktop computer to a separate CPU, largely because my desktop started crashing and taking down the database with it on a regular basis. my IT consultants advised me that I could get by with just a minimum amount of RAM on the CPU "server", So I just went in with 2 GB. Were they wrong??
They rationalized that since that server CPU wasn't doing anything but running the amazing charts database, that the ram shouldn't be an issue.
My set up is running 3 desktops and two laptops, all of them with at least 4 GB of RAM, On what I guess would be best described as a peer-to-peer network, Windows 7 64-bit, all the machines 64-bit. I use Dragon medical on my personal desktop which has 8 GB of RAM. everything was cool everything was groovy until January, when I simultaneously updated amazing charts, Dragon Medical, and my midmark EKG software, then all hell broke loose.
Moving the database actually seemed to calm things down a bit. I've only seen the blue screen of death twice now in the last 10 days, so things are looking up.
