I'd put the SQL Server box on its own machine as I've found it doesn't like competing for resources - it tends to expand until it's filled all the available memory. The idea of keeping the CVSNT server separate is just safety - stopping users from being able to directly edit the repository. Ideally you keep it on its own box with no network shares so all access has to come through the server process. If you're going to have a lot of simultaneous access to multiple apps then disk access time will be a factor... SCSI RAID is the ultimate answer to this although it's quite expensive. Tony
