new server migration

Hey all, my first post.
We are going to a new faster server to keep us going.
The old has P3 1ghz 1.5gb ram. raid 1 for disks
the new has P4 3ghz xeon and 2gb ram. raid 1 for disks
db is 20gb and divided into 4 files across sep disks.
Questions I have.
1) What cache settings should i set on the new server?
2) is copying the db over from the old server ok with the service off.
3) Is there a performance test i can do to test the speed difference between servers.
4) Should we optimise after copying? db is at 90%
5) What are the options of backing up and restoring.
sorry about the many questions...
cheers

1. Copy the database either with the Navision service off or with Navision's HotCopy utility that allows you to copy the database with the service on.
2. Make a backup (.fbk) file using Navision's backup utility. The reason you want to do this is that Navision uses consistency checking of the data, so a successful Navision backup ensures integrity of the data.
Hope this helps.
