Yay, it's done.. 😛

Hopefully we won't see too many teething problems.

You might even say it is *snappier* ! ;-)

Whateve the changes, I like that it works! Thank you MacRumors team!

Hopefully this is the end of "The server is busy" messages! 😀

What are the specs of the new vs. old hardware?

 

[Daveway]

I spoke with Arn today. He said that the server was upgraded to a new Xeon system. So this may explain why MR is much snappier. I asked about why he didn't choose an xserve, but it was like a dead wall.

ah.. good to be back.. now where is the story about all the superbowl commercials?

 

[Lacero]

Let's see how this new server holds up during WWDC. Any bets?

 

[VicMacs]

wow

i felt it!

 

[Platform]

Any new servers
If so which once 😕

 

[Peterkro]

I think I just had a near death experience,but every things O.K. now,better even 😀

 

[aoasus]

hehehee

I think that's hilarious, running Mac Rumors on a Xeon box....

That might explain the errors and slowness all on it's own 🙄

 

[LimeiBook86]

yay!

Yay this is faster than ever, I actually noticed a speed-boost!

Keep up the good work! 😀

Damn! You beat me to it! C'mon guys, why not get some XSERVES goin' on?

[Daveway]

Maybe if Arn would bring back donations we could afford an Xserve! 🙄

 

[MacNut]

Im not sure if this is related or not but Im not getting email notifications anymore.

But it sped up when the Xeon boxes were put in. Don't bash it cause you don't understand it.

Could be worse. Could be running Windows on those Xeon servers.

 

[Punani]

Is the main page's forum activity bar still "detached" from the system?

 

[swissmann]

Is this in response to the big overload after MWSF? Keep up the good work guys!

Maybe the xeon box is a sponsor donation?
