The site will be down for about an hour tonight starting at midnight MST. I'm moving the database to a brand new AMD dual-core, dual proc server (that's 4 cores!) tonight, which will give me some spare horsepower for experimenting with other stuff in a virtual environment.
Here are the stats:
- 2 x AMD Opteron™ 265 1.8GHz (Dual Cores)
- 2GB PC3200 Registered ECC RAM (8GB Capacity)
- 2 x 160GB 7200 RPM SATAII Hard Drives
Overkill? Hardly. It's called capacity, brotha! I have a couple projects coming up that are going to need responsiveness, and between the procs and the SATAII drives, I now have plenty.
Now if ServerBeach would only get off their a$$ and deploy 64-bit Windows Server 2003 machines already, I'd be their happiest customer. Something tells me Longhorn will be out before that happens, though.
See you on the flipside!
UPDATE: We're back online, and holy smokes this thing is fast. I'm noticing a major improvement in the site's responsiveness, and I hope you are too. Lemme know if you're having any issues.
