Benchmark for different edition SQL 2000

We want to select the edition between standard and enterprise. Our usage:
1) 10 users/application connect to the server at the same time
2) 5000 row insert per day
3) Our machine is only 1CPU 2.6GHz and 512 MB RAM with window 2000 server
4) One database will be installed
5) The size of the database around 10GB
Because we want to replace the existing SQL6.5 with 400MHz 256MRAM database server.
Please advise. Thanks
Hi,
Based on your configurations and settings I will recommend you to go for SQL
Server standard edition.
Have a look into the below link in choosing the edition of sql server:-

|||Hari,
Thanks for your advice. However, I have read the page before and without any idea. The point of availability is confused me. In fact, the standard edition and enterprise edition is no different except?
--Scalability ( useless to us because we only have 1 CPU machine with 512MRAM)
--Availability/uptime (useless to us because we don't have a standby or cluster machine)
--Performance (Time is not so critical because we are just using the 6.5 version now with no complain)
--Advanced analysis ( Analysis is not so critical because we are just using the 6.5 version now with no complain)
I just concern, is it enterprise edition is more stable? or standard edition is easy to down?

|||No edition is any more or less stable than any others. It is mainly
features and capacity. Standard edition will do just fine for your needs.

That mean from our requirement, standard edition is enough for us?
Also, the memory arrangement is the same between standard and enterprise? I am testing with standard edition, the memory continue to grow from 10M to 110M after I inserted 3000 records. After I re-boot the machine, the memory back to 10M..... Is it I nee
d to re-boot the machine every week to prevent the memory to grow? Or enterprise edition can handle it better?
Any other Enterprise features that better than Standard?
Thanks

My concern is how to prevent the SQL server that increase the memory usage continuously? Or We need to reboot the machine periodically? Please advise.

|||As Tibor points out that is normal behavior and will be the same for both
Std and EE.
