Before:
- Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.4GHz
- 4 GB memory
- Slow hard drive

After:
- Xeon E31240 @ 3.30GHz
- 16 GB memory
- 2 SSDs in RAID 1

I think this'll be enough for a while. Smiley

lol@slow hdd. Would you be able to say what SSD's are being used now?

I'm in the US and the latency is only barely noticeable when I'm browsing the site.
I recently moved my cluster in the us back to the Europe for this very reason (I had 2 pop), so it's good to have this confirmation that as long as the server is doing fine, 100ms aren't really a problem Wink

Thank you for the info!

I'm in the US as well, but use PIA services via NL, the site is fast as hell, and this works out because, litecoinpool has a domain of nl., so I just cut through all the US bs, directly to NL to connect to the forum and the mining pool. All works out very well.

I always have a hard time remembering exactly wtf his name is and how he types it

Hmm... IMO it has a very natural pronunciation and spelling. It's pronounced the same as they-most, but without the trailing t and with a softer th. It's supposed to sound like the name of a wizard or something.

Hmm, this is how I see theymos...

Does Privateinternet manage the server or did they hand over the reigns to the dedicated server?


As before, I administrate the server.

Cool. Is it hosted in the Netherlands?

Yes.

And when you say provided by, are they paying for the server or are we using forum funds to pay them for the server?

They're paying for it in exchange for some advertising.
Smooth and speedy performance is their best advertisement.

It happened just over 12 hours ago. If you're east coast USA you might have slept through it.

Theymos is awesome!

That's what I wanted to know. I saw the advertising at the bottom and was curious if that was somehow part of the arrangement. Does Privateinternet manage the server or did they hand over the reigns to the dedicated server?

I bet whatever you want that the bottleneck was the hard disk Wink

Absolutely. 4 GB of ram is plenty to host a forum. The reads and writes are what kill it. The only thing better than SSDs in Raid 1 would be SSDs in Raid 1+0

4GB ram? LOL! Of course it was lagging. And Core Duo is like 5 y/o.
