No. You can set it up on the same.

You can set it up on the same box, but if it is going to be a busy server, then you might want a seperate box. SQL can be very picky and a major resource hog....

No. You can set it up on the same.Yes, they can but it's not advised. SQL is a resource hog and you will suffer in performance if you keep them on both.

MS SQL will use every single MB of ram on the server if not configured correctly. If you plan to install it on the same server as a web server make sure you allot a certain amount of resources to it, or it will just use all resources available.

Out of 512 MB how much would you allocate to MS SQL?
