Changing Server

Today we changed the online game server. There former server used Dual Core processor with 1.6 Ghz clock speed, with 80 GB of hard drive. That was really a bit fancy for just running Microtik software. The basic job of the server is just as a gateway server meaning it is in charge of bandwith distribution. Bandwith distribution is really important to ensure that all computer can connect at the same time, and no single computer eats up all the bandwith leaving others nothing to use.

The new server is a Pentium III server with the clock speed of only 633 Mhz. The internet service provider (ISP) said that it is enough to run Microtik. Of course the newly bought server is not new, in fact it is a used one. Actually I haven't bought it yet, I just borrow it for a week to give it a try. The problem with used computer is that you can not be sure of what you will find inside. You could end up with a computer which can only be use for one or two days. So I told the seller to give it to me for a tryout. The server has already installed now, but I still keep the old one. In case of any emergency we can always switch back the old server. The new server will on for the whole week. Let's see its reliability. Hopefully it won't disappoint me.
