NT Compatible move to a new server this weekend. If you are using a custom host file, please remove ntcompatible.com from this file now.

Here the specs of the new machine:
Dell PowerEdge 1800
Dual Xeon 2.8GHz
4GB Ram
2x 73GB HDD SCSI
DRAC card
OS: Debian 3.1 with Kernel 2.6

The new server is located in The Planet datacenter in texas.

Please Help! Resident Evil 3 and Windows XP problems

Have you ever done something really stupid like forget to plug the CPU's fan in?

The new server IP is 70.85.60.244

The current server is a Dual Xeon 2GHz, 2GB Ram, 2x73GB SCSI, no DRAC card running Debian 3.0 w/backports and Kernel 2.4.

Quote:2.6 does alot of neat tricks for webservers from what I understand... Yes, 2.6 is quite impressive compared to 2.4 in terms of server performance and load. Even the MySQL connection issue under heavy load is gone.

Sounds like a good thing here Philip, too bad I didn't build the server for you.

Since I work for a system builder and one of forte's is building Dual-Xeon's using Supermicro Motherboards and Chassis, from 1U on up
