I was tasked to build a small asp.net application. We don’t have the funds for extra hardware at this time. We have a pc running XP Pro SP 2 with the following specs.
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+, 2.29 GHz, 3.00 GB of RAM
Currently the pc has SQL Server 2005 and we have another asp.net application running on the pc with 6 users.
The new application will mainly be used for 1-2 months per year (during budgeting process). The new application is estimated to have 35-50 users. I was told during crunch time the number of concurrent users could be 35-50 as well. The SQL
database for this application should be very small – less than 50 MB. The application will be small as well – a few data entry screens and some reports using SSRS.
Do you think our current pc will be able to handle the new application? I know this is very limited information to base a decision. I don’t have access to software for load testing. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for
your help!
