Hi,

Triggers are great, but be aware they can make updates/inserts significantly
slower depending on the code you write, thats why I asked.

In this case, if your application is a Client/Server multi-user app I would
go with Classic always! SS is too slow on SMP boxes (in this scenario) and
Classic is still good on single processor machines.

I don´t think so

check task manager for a process called fbserver.exe (SS) or
fb_inet_server.exe (Classic)

I think your machine it's just fine (I have done deployments on quite older
and "smaller" ones)
X2 is a AMD mobile technology, that's why I supposed it was a laptop =)
