I am a systems analyst and SQL is not "my daily bread".

A client asked me to "speed up" his PC.
Especially a small management software written in VB6, which relies on a MSDN database.
Windows XP SP3 ITA 32bit.

I increased the RAM from 1 to 4GB.
I replaced the disks with most performing.
I put a Quad Core i5 CPU 3400MHz.
The computer become fast, but the management software and remained slow.

Some time ago I read that more RAM can be assigned to the SQL server. How it works?
Is possible to load and use the entire database in RAM?
Can I shrink/optimize the database?

Thanks

MSDN (and SQL Express) version of SQL Server can only utilize one processor and 1 GIG RAM anyway.

Sorry, I trusted the information given me by customer.
It is not MSDE, but SQL Express 2005.

I move to the right place:
