Hi All,

I have read in Microsft site for SQL 2000 to 2008 upgrade requires more hardware resources.

What can anyone tell/justify what would be the major impact on hardware resources while upgrading from 2000 to 2008?

Suppose i have windows 2000 Server box on top of which sql 2000 with sp4 is running.Existing RAM is 3 GB.
Database Size is 40 GB.
Total Disk size Free space
C:\50 GB 20 GB
D:\200GB 100 GB

Currently my data and log files are residing in D:\ drive itself.

Basically, i want to know what are all the various factors which contribute to more hardware resources if i go for 2008 upgradation.

Expecting for more suggestions.

Thanks in Advance.

Don't know about Server side, but on the client-side the requirements for SSMS are HUGE compared to Enterprise Manager / Query Analyser
