processor machine running Enterprise edition, or a quad processor machine
running standard edition.
The question I'd like to ask is which is likely to be the faster - Obviously
Enterprise edition will allow us to have more memory and should therefore
hopefully cut down the number of recompiles, but having four processors...
Help !!!
AndyFYI: There can be many reasons for a recompile. But you must be using
really many stored procedures and very little memory. SQL-Server will
make the tradeoff how to use the available memory and it knows a
recompilation is expensive. Because of that, there will be few
recompiles because of memory constraints.

I don't have enough info to say with certainty... no one does...
but generally speaking... I would be SHOCKED if the 4X Standard box didn't
perform better than the 2X Enterprise. Enterprise can support more mem,
but... the Standard limits are pretty darn good. IF you can get adequte
performance on a 2X box... that almost implies to me that your app and data
set isn't bing enough to worry about going beyond 2G anyway...
