FB-DIMM's are not "home PC" ram ; )
As to the cost, there's no way it should be costing that much. Really for the price if this is a drop in the bucket you could build your own server and have it co-located or even just upgrade the home/shop network and put it there ; )
but whatever, its faster.. who cares
server to run this shit at the shop or at his house? Do you even have a clue how many fiber lines it takes to carry the bandwidth that this place eats just in a one minute time frame? Get real dude.
Steve, show people what your actual monthly bandwidth use is so they stop with stupid ass comments like this please .
Why yes, I do actually have a clue, thank you very much.
We used to run xtremesystems.org from an office. Worked fine. 10x the users that are here
Used to. Until you realized that wasn't enough and bought a dedicated server...
Oh yeah, and your site does this
Tells me enough about how much you know...
P.S. just that took about 5-8 seconds to load...and it's not my cable.
