Performance Monitoring

I need to compare the performance of two servers, in
order to determine where to put a new application. Both
of the servers have the same specs, whichever has the
most available resources will of course be selected.
What should performance monitors should I use to make
this comparison report and how long should I monitor the
servers?
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
AdamHi,
During peak hours run the system monitor with below counters on both
servers;
Memory : Available megabytes
Processor : Processor time for all CPUS
Disk : Queue length
Based on the out come of above you can identify which server is relatevely
free.
Just check my article in MSDN to setup system monitor and enable counters.
