I'm done with upgrading the server. The forum speed should be back to normal now.

 

dbeck,

I've noticed a dramatic difference in performance. Congratulations on the upgrade - it certainly worked. I think I remember a time way back when you were bragging about running the Web Site off of a brand new dual P3-500 system, seems kinda funny now, doesn't it? (Since then I built, used and sold off a workstation powered by dual P3-600s!)

 

Blackhawk,

Thanks. Yeah, we still have that server for some other web hosting but it will be going away in a few weeks.

The server upgrade we just completed was actually the database server where the forum stores all of its data. It's a 1U rackmount server with dual 3.02 ghz Xeon processors and ultra 320 SCSI hard drives. It's fast!

In a couple of weeks the web server where the forums reside will be doubled in horsepower. Hopefully, the forums will run even faster afterwards.

Yeah, amazing how things change, huh?
