Switch to NEW MR Dedicated Server - opinions?

Well,

Many of you may not have noticed, but last night we switched servers...

The true worth of the new server is yet to be exploited, but I was wondering if any of you had any comments or had experienced any issues?

No news is good news??? But sometimes its good to get a little feedback ;)

Simo

We always strive to ensure that your enjoyment of Saxperience is as trouble free as possible, and like most people we don't want to be caught without enough power to get us out of trouble... so we're going to upgrade to a significantly more powerful server!

Inevitably, this means that there will be some downtime while the migration takes place.

The Saxperience Web site will be offline after 1am on Monday 21st May 2007.

Any downtime will be kept to a minimum and should hopefully be no more than a couple of hours (and you'll all be in bed probably anyway) ;)

Any questions or concerns please locate your friendly local moderator.

Any page not display errors we need an exact date/time, isp etc... as detailed in the Bugs forum many times - I've just been through the server logs for your access and can't find a single error (suspect a connectivity/timeout problem).

As for peak load - the performance of this new server is scary. I've never seen a server do so much with such little effort. The performance graphs look like it's switched off lol.

Ive not had any hitches and ive had a good browse around....

No lag, no double posting pauses,

S'All Guuuud

i have just had to refresh the page as its is soooooo slow, probs just my internet

Quicker than it usually has been before which is a good thing.

Seems fine to me, i can't comment on speed as much as others because i'm still on prehistorice broadband speed at home in the sticks.

I'm sure the new server will become more valuable when the next upgrade is put into place

seems good to me Simo. Only thing i would say is that my browser sometimes got stuck today trying to refresh the forum page. But that could just be my internet being gay

It feels alot faster for some reason, is this the server?
