1. Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64bit

2. Not sure on the version all they said was 2.5.2 when they upgraded
us.

3. FileSystemCacheSize = 70. They put this in at the very end of the
conf file with NO # signs around it. Every other line in the conf file
starts with #.

Example:

# Number of cached database pages

# This sets the number of pages from any one database that can be held

# in cache at once. If you increase this value, the engine will

# allocate more pages to the cache for every database. By default, the

# SuperServer allocates 2048 pages for each database and the classic

# allocates 75 pages per client connection per database.

#

# Type: integer

#

#DefaultDbCachePages = 2048

What OS/bitness are you running?

What engine version (SuperClassic) are you running?

What are the database page cache settings?

How many active database connection are their?
