I will soon be upgrading our lone file server from Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003 Server. We have 15 Win XP users attached to the file server that primarily connect to use our order entry program that is stored on the server. I was wondering what option I should choose for Server Optimization in regards to network performance from the following Options in Win2003Server's File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks Properties.

'Minimize memory used'
'Balance'
'Maximize data throughput for file sharing'
'Maximize data throughput for network applications'
My book (Hands-On Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Palmer, Michael) says that using the 'Maximize data throughput for file sharing' is used for large networks with over 64 users.

What choice should I make for our new server?

thanks, malaize
