More Giggage!
Jun 25^th, 2008 at 1:13pm

Some of my stock choices have been performing well lately, so I decided to sell off a couple of my positions before they tank and buy a couple computer parts.

For the server, I'm swapping out a 250GB hard drive and replacing it with a 750GB drive. That, combined with the existing 500GB hard drive, should give me a bit more breathing room for the FTP stuff. Would any of you guys be interested in me re-opening the FTP server?

I also picked up another 2GB of DDR3 RAM for the Bobulator VII, which will bring me up to 4GB again. 2GB is a decent amount of RAM, but 4GB will be a lot more comfortable for gaming on Vista. I bought the exact same 2GB pack of OCZ DDR3 as I bought in December, but the prices has fallen by almost 2/3! It was $279.99 in December, but I picked it up for $99.00 today. Sweet!

So, how much RAM and storage space do you guys have these days? Between the server and the Bobulator, I'll have about 2TB in storage space. I bet Briney has me beat there! The server also has 2GB in RAM, but I'm thinking about throwing one more stick to max it out at 3GB.

I hate to tell you this Bob, but my Macbook has more ram than your server. And you always make fun of me being a steve jobs fanboy(which I'm not)

I only have about 3/4 of a TB. Which holds all the episodes of Star Trek. Original Series (Including the very first episode with Pike) TNG, DS9, VOY and a few of the movies. If anyone wants them let me know, I'll be down state in a week or so for the rest of the summer.

Let me think about that hard drive. I'm thinking about moving my server up a little, and it doesn't have to be great specs because I just use it for testing.

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

The server is running on an AMD Athlon XP 3000+, how much RAM do you think it needs? The server really serves three main purposes; storing FTP stuff (videos, music, games, etc.), hosting the web forum, and hosting my e-mail server.

I don't make enough money to keep the Bobulator and the network rack and the server running with the latest and greatest components, so the server usually receives the "hand-me-downs" from the Bobulator. From time to time I'll throw it a bone and buy a new component to replace one that is dead, dying, or severely outdated, but all in all it works just fine on 3-4 year old equipment.

Reply #3 - Jun 25^th, 2008 at 2:46pm Also, I'm willing to bet the RAM in the Bobulator is a heck of a lot faster than the stuff in your MacBook. So HA. -b0b (...DDR3 10666, laaaaadies!)

What no Enterprise? Psh...rookie.

Ya, bob, let's start with the FTP again...that was much fun. I'll have to update my full list of everything I have and send that out for all to drool over.

Reply #7 - Jun 25^th, 2008 at 5:07pm Well, hopefully I'll get the bigger hard drive on Friday and I'll have a chance to get it installed this weekend. I'll let you guys know! -b0b (...can set up the FTP in about fifteen minutes once that's done.)
