Thanks for the reply...
http://www.avsforum.com see 30,000 unique visitors a day and we run the site off of two Dell Poweredge 2550 server's. Each have two 1 ghz processors, 2 gigs of RAM, and are both run a 128 meg RAID 5 controller (3 - 10,000 RPM SCSI-3 drives). One server is for web, the other for DB. (another server also for ads.)
Not sure what to say...but we have over a million posts and do about 12.5 million page views a month. I do not think the user count matters as much as the posts in this case. As I write this there are 714 members on-line.
I would love to use this with our forum...but when I press the button to got into the search area...It just takes so long and server load goes up.
Anyone, anyone....Buler, Buler?
