Upgraded
Very covert-like, this server was completely rebuild on 9/20 without any posts announcing it! Alright, so news has been incredibly dry around here for some time. Just take a look around and everything is about boring servers. Sorry folks, it will probably be a bit before anything exciting happens.
However, the server upgrade is nice. It now runs on a hyper threaded P4 clocking at 2.8 GHz. That’s twice as fast as the previous CPU in clock speed alone. I also threw in two extra sticks of RAM since the new motherboard has two slots more than the previous system. We’re only at 1.5 GB RAM at this point but I’m looking into upgrades. Incidentally, the new motherboard only has SATA connectors so I had to toss out the old hard drives and add a single large-ish one. So the server got a bit of unplanned capacity in the upgrade as well.
We are in the process of gearing our second linux server. More (boring) information to come.
