We will be upgrading the server tonight, moving to higher spec hardware. There will be around 30 mins downtime from 11pm tonight. If you're interested, moving from a dual core to quad core CPU and 4GB RAM
Right......I'm confused now. Is it just "plenty" or "more than plenty"? Give us facts! The people need to know.
El Toro, Most powerful PC's nowadays come with the option of either 2 or 4GB of Ram (Random Access Memory). Often the more RAM you have the easier to switch between programs (IE using Word/ Excel/ T'internet etc etc) all at the sametime. Although currently 'Dual Core' is ok for somethings, its fast becoming old hat and QuadCore is twice the Dual Core' hence the word 'Quad' (4). Its a Processor/ Chip that makes the Operating System (OS) IE Windows7/8 etc. Run smoothly without busting a gut. Think of it as putting a set of Termis on a Ducati, but not swapping the ECU. Although it'll run, it'll be a bag of bones. With a Termi ECU the bike will run Sweet. OK?
I did understand what the 4GB of RAM did, and also by quad core it had twice the capacity of dual core. The but I didn't understand was how and why it'd be "plenty" or "more than plenty" for hosting the site, given that it's a busy site with lots of users at any one time.
