ATTENTION: CF will be upgrading hardware and changing datacenters...

[I'ddie4him]

Confirmed our new server specs - very nice - database server will have Quad Opterons, 8 x SCSI hard drives with RAID PCI-X etc.

I'm also going to switch from using Linux to FreeBSD and Apache to lighttpd. Wish me luck! I have to learn a new OS!

Sounds like a hit to the pocketbook to me.
I need to renew my SS status for Beth and I soon.
A new OS ??
On top of a new job too ??
Whew. Just watch that candle on both ends.

What?! No Intel?

Is Outrage!

Get four Intel Pentium 4 EE's that are Dual-Channel, Hyper-Threading, and move at 3.46 GHz...you'll be zooming!

Our image server will be a Dual Xeon. But all the other servers are AMD - Opterons are way better (apparently). Our main webserver is a dual processor, dual core Opteron (almost like a quad Opteron).

Still like greek, But, I do understand expensive.

Hopefully this will help alot with the slowdowns and stuff.
Hope it works well for you Erwin and that there aren't any problems in switching things around.

Well I can't speak for others, but I am a NERD and I'm darn proud of it.

If you want proof, I can give you all sorts of details on my primary Dungeons and Dragons character, Valer the Assimar Paladin

We don't know yet. Erwin said he'd give us an adequate notice when the time comes.

I love OS X, but it ain't that great for databases. Too slow at spawning threads. But FreeBSD . . . Yummy!

 

[PorcelainHeart]

I don't understand this computer talk
