Author SQL Configuration and Optimization

Hi!
I wanna know, please, some advises and tips to configurate my SQL server.
Here are some details about the hardware and traffic:

Pentium 3 500 MHz and
512 MB of RAM

The average every month of hits is about 9.000.000 with 1.700.000 page views
and 150.000 visitor sessions and 70.000 unique visitors

I have some doubts about this setting in the SQL properties:

-Memory
[Dinamically configure SQL Server memory] OR should i use a fixed memory
size???

-Process control
[Maxium worker threads = 255] is it OK? what should i use as an average?

-Connections
[Maximum concurrent user connections = unlimited] i have very doubt about
this, with the number of my web site traffic souldnt i limit this??? whay
would you use???


Thank you so much, i hope you can help me to improve it.

are you using this as your web server and database server? if you are
i would definately suggest using a fixed memory size b/c sql is going
to allocate it all to itself and your web apps are goign to lag.

nice work on the traffic. btw =)

No, the SQL and the WEB server are separated.

What do you feel it's slow?
Are you using old IDE drives?
What's the database size?
New hardware with 1+ GB memory would definitely speed up the performance.

the drive speed? i'd go w/ at least 2 GIGs of RAMM if you can. it's
cheap enough. :)
