Upgrading to windows 7

I am about to upgrade to win 7 – had to wait until better drivers for my laptop were available for some of it’s systmes.

I use clinicoffice pro. i have a gigabit wired netwrok and i run cat 6 cable throughout. I get huge sequential throughput for data both ways laptop-server and vice versa.

I find some DB sorts take up to 12-20seconds when done from the laptop while they are immeidate on the reception computer (where DB is stored).

If I put the DB on a solid state drive with high IOPS will this help (considering vertex LE, 2x vertex LE raid 0 dedicated controller, or ocz pci-e z drive)?

currently running on phenom II 940 3.0 ghz quad core with 8gb ram vista 64 ultimate. would moving to dual quad core xeons of similar speed with 16gb memory improve my db search time without or in conjunction with the above?

Or will upgrading to the high end client/server version of clinic office be the best solution?

I want fast db access. as fast as possible. from all nodes as I am likely hiring two more people in the near term and the db will be growing quickly.

Thanks!
