A company I used to work for asked me to upgrade their network and I'd like to get some input from someone who has a similar setup or has installed one.
Since upgrading to Quickbooks Enterprise 7.0, their company file has doubled in size (now 1.5GB), and everything is running a lot slower than it didd with version 5. We had to upgrade to 7 because they had reached the limit in item numbers, which is supposed to be eliminated in version 7.
So now we've decided to get a new server and use terminal services on all the clients. We currently have about 9 clients running Windows XP Pro, which we plan to retire and go to thin clients eventually to make the network easier to manage.
The new server will host the quickbooks company file (duh) and the clients will connect to it using terminal services. With ten clients, I imagine it takes a lot of RAM to do this.
Any help in the brand of computers, specs getting all of this to work would be greatly appreciated.

Just upgrade the RAM in the exisiting server to 4GB. Upgrade all the client systems to 2 GB RAM.
You haven't said anything about your disk array, but make sure you're using striped mirror sets and not RAID-5!
