CPU usage (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW)

I have a Windows 2000 Advanced Server with SQL Server
2000 Enterprise Edition with SP3A.
The server has approximately 300 users and CPU usage
stays
states between 90 to 100 % for at least 200 minutes out
of a 12 hour processing windows in time.
What is a good metric for LOW, MEDIUIM, and HIGH CPU
usage rates.
Thanks,
Mark
Hi,
90-100% for more than 3 hours will be a problem. Idetify the process (might
be batch) causing the bottle neck.
If you find that there is no much optimization can be done in your program ,
probably go for 1 more additional CPU.
Low : Less than 20%
Medium : Between 21 % to 60%
High : Any thing above 60%
Thanks
