SQL 2005 specifications and performance documentation

Not sure if you mean the system requirements? If so, that's here:

If you mean data on different benchmarks for performance, scalability, etc., if so, just head to the SQL Server home page and browse the variety of white papers, case studies, etc. listed there.

There's some benchmark/performance information here: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/compare/default.mspx

Hi Jim,

I checked with the SQL Express folks. Here's what they said:

"SQL Express is limited to 1 CPU, 1 GB memory, and 4 GB total database size. These limits, much more than any other factor, will determine performance of SQL Express in most situations. If you are measuring a workload that fits within the limits, the performance will be essentially the same for Express, Workgroup, Standard, or Enterprise Edition. I’m not aware of any performance evaluations specifically for SQL Express."

Having said that, you might find the information in these links helpful.
