Are you using F/W SCSI? Caching controller?

Have you collected statistics using NT's performance monitoring tools? You should be able to track down what you're running out of (memory, I/O bandwidth, etc). If reinstalling NT helped, then do a fresh install on one machine and compare the statistics on that one with the stats from one of your slow machines and see what's different.

BTW, IE is real resource pig. I wouldn't run it on a DB server. Received on Mon Aug 04 1997 - 00:00:00 CEST
