Server Upgrade 5/5/06

[Jay Herbert]

still cant download pictures to my gallery in case anyone wants to know.

On the "to-do list", thanks for bringing it up. It is an issue with the program that generates the thumbnail images.

The remaining slowness is the banner ad server.... working on it. The forum should be "click and appear" fast while we are fixing the banner ad server.

Software upgrades are to follow. We wanted to get the new server running and debugged fully first.

The server upgrade included:

CPU: 280% faster, four time the on board memory, and duo core
Memory: twice the amount, 300% faster
Bus: 400% time faster
drives: 50% faster
operating system: from 32 bit to 64 bit

Best of all we still have room to grow: we can add another duo core CPU and triple the current memory.

Who want's to volunteer to help test/develop the next generation Forums and Marketplace?

Hmm,

I'm on a 3MB line and I don't see any difference in the speed of this site, drat.

I'd be willing to bet you're NOT on a 3MB line. 3Mb maybe... BIG difference, but I'm just being picky.

Right-o, good catch, didn't know we had such tech-heads out here, will mind myself appropriately!

Megabit, not byte, 3MB would be 24Mb, that would be cool but big $$ for a pipe like that.
