A recent upgrade of my personal computer left some impressive hardware available to become an all new Trollserver. \u00a0Improvements include CPU, RAM, Hard Drives, Operating System, and several software upgrades. \u00a0<\/p>\n
The CPU improvements include a jump from a single “old skool” P4 generation CPU to a Core2 Duo CPU with tons more horsepower. \u00a0This CPU upgrade comes bundled with a 2nd CPU core to do more work as well as a jump forward into 64-bit computing.<\/p>\n
The RAM jumped from DDR\/133 to DDR2\/800 and from 1GB to 8GB. \u00a0This means way more space for running scripts and server programs and the database. \u00a0So less waiting for that image to resize or having it fail due to not having enough RAM to pull it off right now. \u00a0It also means that when RAM is accessed it’s done way, way faster.<\/p>\n
Hard drive space previously wasn’t considered limiting, but has now jumped to an almost silly\u00a0four times the previous capacity. \u00a0Also with the benefits of newer generation hard drives with bigger caches and better transfer rates, not just capacity.<\/p>\n
The Operating System moved the small click from FreeBSD 7.0 (32-bit) to FreeBSD 7.1 (64-bit) so I would have access to all 8GB of RAM and the 64-bit features on the new CPU. \u00a0Most people aren’t likely to notice much change from this specifically, but it helps all the other changes to work better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
