Memory Upgrade - Orchid Board

Just an FYI, we added more memory to the OB server today. Things should hopefully be a bit more stable now.

Cool Marty!

I kept checking in to see if the site was down...I was scared

Cool! And if there was any down time, I certainly missed it!

so are you hosting the site on your own dedicated server box?

whats the specs if you don't mind me asking

Marty · #5 02-09-2009, 10:44 PM

yes it's on a dedicated server Athlon X2 64bit with 4Gigs

Hey Marty, you wouldn't have some memory left over that I could beg, borrow or steal? I need it bad (to heck with the computers)!!!

Thanks Marty. I didn't notice any down time either.

When I say 'we changed' memory I'm really saying some dude in Texas at the hosting company did it.

I thought you hosted the box....dfw company?

If that's a hosting company...that's a low end Rig..what company do you use? AMD 64 bit should of been running 4 gigs to start with... or is this a freind of your's

Size of the rig is directly proportional to the amount of money I'm able to scrape up from the sites. After paying for everything myself for a couple of years, it's nice that that my sites are able to pay for themselves. Before they charged $25/gig which was rediculous! That's per month too! If things grow and I'm able to scrape up more cash on regular basis, we'll be going to a larger server.
