It’s interesting to me that old and inaccurate performance tuning recommendations seem to have a life of their own. In some ways, old performance tuning recommendations are like the Undead from some kind of cheesy, 1970’s zombie movie – no matter how many times you shoot them, they just keep coming back.
Here’s a good case in point, ...

''Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition 64-bit Service Pack 1 was configured to utilize ''soft NUMA'', a feature that allows network connections to be affined to specific groups of CPUs ...

If you're well-versed in using PerfMon, I'd like to hear about the counters that you use regularly and what constitutes a good or bad value.
