Server upgrade.

Due to extreme slowness of the server with the new album software, I decided to order some new Hardware.
Following items have been ordered.
Intel Pentium D 805, Dual Core CPU running at 2.666 Ghz
1GB MDT DDR2-667 RAM
ASRock 775Twins-HDTV Motherboard
Q-Technology 500W Big Fan, Low Noise, Black Powersupply
Zalman Reserator 1 Plus, Water cooling solution
Zalman ZM-RF1 Fan, for the above water cooling solution

I got a tip about a guide for creating a 4 Ghz dual Core system for a rather low price tag.
All in all the bill for the new hardware end on 552 Euros.(Donations are accepted. ;-) )

When hardware arrives I will set it up, and if all is well you should see some serious improvement over the previous setup.
Intel Pentium 3, 500 Mhz
256 MB Ram

I have also upgraded the Harddrives in the system, I did this some months ago.
So now the Server has:
2×250 GB drives configured in a Mirroring RAID.(This means the are a mirror of each other, so in case one fails, the second one can take over without loosing the data.)
1×160 GB drive configured also as Mirror, but there is no Second drive yet, currently it is split into 1x120GB for data, 2GB for Swap Space, and rest for operating system.
Later I will add the 120 GB harddrive from the old Windows server, to be as a Mirror for the above 120GB partition.
