I managed to get my greedy hands on more powerfull computing gear, providing the means to upgrade this webserver. After nearly 4 years, the old hardware was still fine, but with the newer parts in place, the machine performs even better, and is somewhat more future proof.
| Part | Old server | New server |
| CPU | Intel Core2 Duo E6320 | Intel Core2 Duo E7500 |
| CPU speed | 1.86 Ghz | 2.93 Ghz |
| Memory | 2.0 GB DDR2 | 4.0 GB DDR2 |
| Chipset | Intel DQ965 | Intel Q45 |
In order to prevent a possible disk crash, the old 250 GB harddisk (already 4 years old) was cloned to a new one. The old disk was still OK, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
