<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes unfortunately a 2.6 P4 is now a low end

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is not really going to help much apart from being a

to Int P4 2.6Ghz/*00Mhz FSB, 2GB Ram as a<BR>"slow machine". :) Oh
My... ;-) This means dual 2.4's<BR>are ready for the Smithsonian net to
the PC-XT and PC-Jr ;-))<BR><BR><BR><BR>Well The clan wants me to kill all 11
of {TRv}'s Vservers<BR>and leave 1 COD Match, 1 COD HQ Vserver and
bring<BR>up 3 COD2 servers.<BR><BR>So I am moving the COD to the single 3.2Ghz
P4, 1GB Ram,<BR>and going to load the 3 Vservers on the Quad CPU
3.2Ghz<BR>server with 4GB Ram. RH ES 2.4 with latest 2.6SMP Kernel<BR>(seen as
8 Virtual CPU's)<BR><BR>I also loaded all my own files, feel the same way as
Jay<BR>although on dual Internet load balanced cable it took<BR>only 8 hours
or I suspect it would have taken 15 hours<BR>based on a 512Kbs
uplink.<BR><BR>I will post stats and stuff here later for the Quad, and<BR>to
make it more like many servers out there a Dual CPU<BR>(4 virtual CPU) by
taking 2 CPU's off line. I am interested<BR>in what others are seeing as there
has not been much<BR>talk about this, and it was a HOT potato (or Potatoe for
the<BR>Dan Quale fans) in UO..<BR><BR>Jay, what are you getting on those Quad
CPU Power-house<BR>Tyan's?? And don't be shy... I am starting from
scratch, so<BR>if you have a nice config (And I know you do ;), can U
shoot<BR>it to me so I am not up to 4am? :( Thanks. I know Ya tha man.
