Hi,
I have been conducting some performance tests on my Windows 2000 server farm. Not because my users are complaining about the performance but out of pure curiosity...
I've read several times in different books, guides and websites that the performance counter [Memory: Pages/Sec] indicates how many times per second the system has to access the pagefile instead of getting the information out of RAM and if it is constantly over 20 to 30 you should consider a memory upgrade.
On several machines (including my Terminal Servers) this counter has an average value of over 60 but the system is actually quite fast and not one of my 150 users is complaining.
Can I expect a huge performance increase if I add more RAM to my servers or should I postpone adding additional RAM untill users start complaining.
Thanks!
Jeffrey
