3.6 and the big boards
 

I had heard 3.6 would have more support for the big boards but I'm not seeing much in the announcements, has anyone heard anything?
The new features do look fantastic!

if you read thru all the updates listed thus far, there appear to be a few that address server loading...some stuff in the signature area, and others...

however, per a thread on large forums, it's pretty much still a "toss hardware at it" solution...

I'm hoping eva2000 gets his computer/access back reliably so he can respond to my server tweak thread...

Remember that theres still things to come in 3.6 announcements - could be something major tomorrow to help :)

not a word about master/slave

I know! I need some new hardware so I was hoping to have an answer on this to guide my purchase

Master and slave can be done right now with 3.5.x.

Erwin, just curious why did you decide to implement the one monster server database solution as opposed to the master slave concept?
I'm trying to figure out where I want to go right now, do I want a huge DB server like quad dual operon's or 2 dual opteron servers.

What a guess - server stuff in today's announcement :)

No it can't. There is no current differentiation between functions that are read only, write only and read and write simultaneously. The last one screws up your board.

Yea we got master-slave!
