- staunch 16y agoSimple: buy a bigger server. It's amazing how powerful one machine can be these days.
- grinich 16y agoAssuming nothing has changed, it's running on a "3.0 GHz Core whatever, 12 GB RAM, 64-bit FreeBSD 7.1." Upgraded on 4/19/09 from a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4, 4 GB RAM, 32-bit FreeBSD 5.3. rtm's comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=516122 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=516122
- jrockway 16y agoYeah, well, this is a middle of the road server these days. I have a 16-core server with 64G of RAM as a dev server at work. They get even more powerful than this, too. Not saying pg should spend any money on this, though. A redesign of news.arc will stretch the hardware a lot further.
