New server ordered for Neowin

But can it run Crysis?

Rappy's spam requirements > Crysis requirements.

So yes.

[PL_ Veteran]

But will it blend?

Now THAT is the question.

rappys posts count = rappys porn count = grains of sand = galaxies in the universe

Great stuff, glad to see the user's money/Neowin profit going towards the site and getting it running even faster. (Y)

I totally agree mate and am also glad to see it being used in a good way!

[Lt-DavidW]

Great news.

So we're gonna have a Porn section/forum moderated by Rappy?? :ninja:

:cool:

j/k :p

Why RHEL? Save yourself some money and use CentOS if you want to use Linux. RHEL support is worthless. :)

Linux-powered is Linux-powered. (Y)

And hardware (performance!) upgrades are always a welcome investment.

But can it run Crysis?

/me points to the word "Linux"

:no:

That is great to hear that Neowin will be running even smoother in the future than it does now (if that's possible :p). Good job guys and I hope the installation goes off without a hitch.

[DaveLegg Developer]

Hows the next version of Neowin coming along?

Writing it in Lolcode seemed like a good idea.... when we started

Neobond, if you need someone to come and pick up the older one and dispose of it for free... Send me a PM ;)

Dispose of... neatly in my living room of course! lol

[Fairlytayleree]

Good news, congrats Neowin team on the Server :)

p.s. apologies for my last post I was in a hurry. Too many BBSes and IRC chat sessions in my time, you know.

Wow thats cheap for a server... our last server purchase here cost us about $22,000 :woot: and its an enterprise SQL Server.... 64GB RAM (ECC), 14 15K RPM HDD's at 146.7GB each... all fiber channel attached with 3 independent RAID controllers... one for each set of files (Logs, Databases, and temp db)

Must the the costs of those Microsoft licenses. :shiftyninja:

/me runs

[neufuse Veteran]

No that was just the server, we already owned licenses

every RAID controller was redundant, redundant fiber controllers per link redundant fiber lines... redeundnat power supplies... costs $$$$$

"but liek omg MS says linux iz moar expensive cos of support lolz" :p

No that was just the server, we already owned licenses

So how long ago was that?

[Premgenius]

Awesome!

Linux-powered is Linux-powered. (Y)

Linux-powered at 0 coins is not Linux-powered at !0 coins.

Writing it in Lolcode seemed like a good idea.... when we started

And then you moved to machine code and everything went awwwwwwwrite.

I just hope the speed isn't effected like last time. The switch to make neowin "faster" last time provided unbearable lag, making it very hard to even navigate the forum topics, let alone the replies.

Good to see things going well for neowin, and I hope this makes what I believe to be a fast neowin, even faster
