Server setup for Coldfusion 8

[Wendy Lam]

What would you recommend to be the best setup in terms of memory, space, configuration of drive(s), etc if you were to put Coldfusion 8 enterprise on a Windows server?  Let's look at it not from the minimum requirements perspective, but maximum.  Thanks.

Well, I could based on assumptions, but then those may not do you any  
good.  The 'best' setup is customized to your needs.  There is the  
base install with will work for lightweight usage and work just fine  
for development.  Of the base install type, since you have the  
Enterprise version I would usually suggest installing multi-instance  
server mode.

How about describing your servers hardware:
# CPU's and speed
Amount of memory
Version of windows
Database
Is the database running on the same server or a separate server?

Next describe your web application and estimated traffic.

The answer to your question depends on what types of Web sites the
server is running. Running MySpace.com is quite different than running
a site that gets one visitor per day.
