When the system is running to recalculate, is your processor at 100% ?
Give more detail about the main board too, what the model.
And is it running on Win 2000, or other O.S. ?
Are they using interfaces SATA from main board or from a controler board PCI ?

We using firebird for a multi-store retail reporting application.

One of our clients is running a system with PC hardware;
AMD 3000+, 2Gig RAM, SATA RAID5.

We have a proccess that re-calculates consolidated report totals
based on new department structure changes. This is taking over a week
to complete on their database (approx. 50Gb).

My question;
What hardware would could you recommend to allow this process to
complete in 4-6hours?


Thanks in Advance.
