boosing up performance on Windows

    Hello people

    I am using a dual processor Windows machine with 4GB RAM
    For some reason, the performance level that I am getting from my Apache is very low. At any given time, the maximum amount of memory it uses is 0.5GB (1/8 of what it has)

    I would like to have my server handle much more traffic simultaneously
    I have another Apache running on a Linux machine, and there I saw that by increasing memory and increasing the MaxClient value I can boost performance, having the Web server handle more clients at the same time

    I am looking for a similar solution for my Windows machine.
    Does anyone know how I can modify its settings a little better in order to bring out the max from its 4GB RAM?

    I am attaching my httpd.conf file for you to view

    any help would be appreciated

    Please don't get into Linux-Windows debate
    This is not the issue here

    The server is running on a Windows machine.
    Given that requirement, I need to boost up performance

    thanks

    SVZ is right, Apache was never meant to run on Windows, thus you will see a lack of performance in Apache. Run IIS and ASP and you will see things in other perspective ;)

    Want to keep with Apache? Run Linux (CentOS4).
