New servers are coming!!

Faster faster faster

As the site continues to grow in traffic we always end up with performance issues trying to handle it all.

So we've bought some new servers which should be going up within the next 4 weeks.  They're MONSTERS. Holy cow.  SMP Dual Core with both redundant RAID and RAID for performance (a lot of hard drives there).

We also increased our bandwidth by an additional 100 megabits but it'll be a bit before we are fully exploiting this new bandwidth level.

So stay tuned, changes are acoming..

I understand that there are six hard disks, running under RAID 10. The CPUs are the fastest dual-cores we could buy.
