I read that the component database can be stored on a server. Has
anyone used SQL server (which version?) instead of MSDE and noticed
better performance? Can any other ODBC database be used?
How much CPU/memory is recommended if I want to build a full XPe image
with almost every component in perhaps 5 minutes or less?
TIA

You don't necessarily need a server but rather a separate machine to run
MSDE or SQL 2K (XP Pro should be enough).

I use SQL 2000 (pretty much the same as MSDE 2000 but just different license
restrictions).

No. Unless you know a way to change XPe Tools.

Processor choice is up to you but I wouldn't recommend anything below 2Ghz.
Make sure you have got >= 1G RAM on the machine that willl run SQL (or
MSDE). Then SQL server will be able to cache a big part of Mantis (XPe)
database and will execute all the queries to database pretty fast.
My builds (even pretty heavy ones) usually take up to 30 secs - 1min at
most, although I am running XPe Tools and SQL Server on the same dev
machine.
