Thanks for the starting points.

This application ran quite nicely for several years until the motherboard fried. We purchased a new server and and had to upgrade from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003. We were runnng SQL 6.5, which wouldn’t run on 2003 so we had to upgrade to SQL 2008.

The server is an HP Proliant DL120 G5 with an on-board Intel ICH8 SATA Raid controller and 2 Seagate Baracuda 250 gb hard drives (7200 rpm) & 4 gb memory.

Was this an in place upgrade, or did you move to a new server?

What are the specs of the server that is running SQL 2008?
