    New server results.

    I would like to thank the powers that be for upgrading the server here. There is a huge improvement in loading speed and surfing the threads is much more enjoyable. JR

    Joe,

    The server is the same machine we were using at HRO, we just moved it to my workshop office and have an Internet connection that is dedicated to the SMC server alone. Basically we don't have to share our bandwidth with any other servers so the speed is fairly constant now.

    The actual server is one that our Members donated the funds to build last year and it idles most of the time. I expect we could easilly double our Membership and still not tax the server, we would saturate our bandwidth before we could slow the server down.

    I'm glad you can see the difference in performance.
