I am looking for feedback people might have on running a big NT box with IDS vs moving up to a Sun box running Solaris. How solid is IDS 7.3 on a multi-CPU box vs on a Sun box? I need to have a very large (at least for NT) buffer cache as I need to pretty much make a 6-700MB table resident in memory. Are there any limits to IDS buffer cache size on NT vs Solaris? How does IDS scale up from 1-4 CPUs on NT vs Solaris? Thanks in advance. Cheers
