Web Server Specifications for ASP.NET APP!

HI ALL!!

We are in the process of purchasing a new web server for an event we
are holding and was wondering if any of you guys know if there is some
sort of formula or guideline we should follow to help determine the
specifications of the server we will require.

The event held will server 350 - 400 delegates who will access an
internal website with 5GB of documents (thousend odd doc, xls, ppt
files) using their laptops and a number of wireless hotspots throughout
the event building. The server will be a Windows Server 2003 based
plateform (maybe WebServer Edition) running IIS6.

I've been searching the internet and microsoft sites but can't seem to
find a definate document that will tell me how to determine the server
spec required based on the a 350 concurrent user and 5GB of documents
assumption ...

Please help... :o|

That amount iof delegates should not task any decent server calss machine
with a gig of RAM. If you have 350 - 400 delegates you are unliekly to get
350 concurrent request, unless they all decide to download docs at the same
time. I would estimate you would have maybe 50 concurrent requests at your
absolute busiest time, if that.

Also, if you're just serving static files (word docs etc) and there isn't
any server side processing such as ASP.NET pages talking to SQL Server or the
like then it probably won't need that much power behind it. I wouldn't begin
to give a full spec on processor power, but as clickon said you probably
wouldn't need much more than a gig of RAM to keep the operating system happy.
I doubt you'll bother IIS that much.
