Going to have some more reboots later tonight as we move the box over to a 2.6 kernel which will further improve performance.

Sorry for the issues tonight guys, was working on a 2.6 kernel and encountered problem after problem.

The good news it it is running now, and I can go to sleep (6 hours later!)

I think this box is going to perform extremely well tomorrow, er, today...

By the way, Keepalive is shut off until we're sure that the server is stable. If all goes well, it'll be re-enabled tomorrow morning and the images will load quite a bit faster

Server now stable; keepalive re-enabled for better performance especially for lots of small image loads (e.g. main page).

In regards to the multiple servers thing - you guys should really look into setting up an InterWorx cluster. If this is the only site you're running, you should be able get that working for really no more than the cost of renting the servers with a 15 site license.

That's also a load-balanced setup, so when one server freaks out due to a RAM failure, you can keep the other machine running with no more trouble than some lag from the extra hits.

We run multiple sites :tiphat:

The issue was that MySQL was killing the CPU... ram definitely wasn't a problem. We were going to have one machine processing MySQL exclusively and another running everything else, but our new solution is perfect. Running a Load balancing system with your proposed setup with our current bandwidth is a tad too pricey atm

It's very likely that will be our next step in a year or so if the site continues to grow the way it has in the last couple of years.

Yep, going to a load balanced setup will be the next step. We just moved up from a Dual Xeon 2.8 to a Dual Core, Dual CPU Opteron 265 (4x1.8ghz Opteron cores). RAM has not yet been a limitation. I'd expect this setup to last for a year or so.
