Thank you very much, Robert.. This is only possible because of our supporting members and supporting vendors! They pay for the brunt of the costs around here. We should see even more speed in the days to come as the server administrator optimizes some settings.. We were running on a single Pentium 4 and now we're running on 4 Xeon CPUs. :)

Wow. The site works so much better and faster!
(And you got new smileys, huh?) Cool.
Congratulations Sal.

Thank you. I think this is the first time in our history that we're actually loading pages quickly. Imagine how much traffic is going to increase now? Before, anyone who came along here for the first time using Internet Explorer (most people) never signed up. Who'd want to when the pages loaded so slowly? The next step is a dedicated server for the database ONLY. I have a feeling traffic will go up enough to make this an important addition within the next 18 months...

Thanks for the upgrade Sal! :)

:EEK: :EEK: :EEK: :EEK:

I bet that was an expensive upgrade.

Wow, 4 Xeons is alot, what are the other specs? just curious.

For most people, i dont see the need for that kind of processing power, but awesome! thanks sal!

Wow... i just saw, 2gb of ram. I dont see a reason to upgrade for a while. I dont think these php scripts are that crazy in resource consuming.
