Does >NT offer an ISAPI?Yes, and under IIS with ISAPI we have clocked a dual Pentium 200 at 90 connections/second on a WebDNA page doing a lookup in a medium-size database (the same speed at which it serves static html pages from its cache). For some reason (perhaps just showing off) IIS defaults to 100,000 simultaneous ip connections in its preferences. I doubt you could get anywhere near that for real.>- Scalability. Does the NT version take advantage of multiple processors?Yes, this happens automatically under NT, and a dual 200 will probably feel peppier than a single 300, just because many processes are offloaded to the other CPU. IIS seems to spread threads across both CPUs quite nicely.>- Anything else I should know, but don't.Make sure you step away from using $Search and switch to the cross-platform equivalent of command=Search. The meaning of / in [include /xx] is slightly different on PC as well.
