#6 Fred, while I appreciate the name Lucretia, I would have thought Lucy would have been better - as in Lucy Borden, who
... took an axe,
and gave her mother 40 whacks;
when she saw what she had done,
she gave her father 41!

I guess I just relate to axes more than I do poison...

Hope all goes extremely well with the new server.

#7 "I would have thought Lucy would have been better - as in Lucy Borden"

Except Borden's name was Lizzie, OP - and she was aquitted, IIRC.

Maybe Fred named his new server for Lucretia Mott?

Though I certainly hope it's for Lucretia Borgia - and will be poison to trolls and other assorted internet riff-raff.

Fred, I have no idea what-all you said, though it sounds impressive. Congratulations on your new ~~toy~~ server, and many thanks for all you do.

#8 Faster processor = It is a 64 bit processor (CPU or central processing unit) with a faster cycle which means it can process more and more complex commands per processor cycle.

More Memory = Less lag for database queries and more efficient database writes, and it can store larger integers.

Now I don't know if the Intel iCore processors are actually 64 bit. Some first generation 64 bit processors were actually 40 bit, like the AMD Opteron, but since taking over Rantburg's Mexican desk, I haven't really kept up, so dunno.

#10 Some first generation 64 bit processors were actually 40 bit, like the AMD Opteron

The 64 bits refer to the data path and registers (actually 128 bit w/ MMX). The 40 bits refers to the physical address lines (1 terabyte). Even today, addressing is up 48 bits (256 TB).

#13 Thanks Fred for all of your hard work and dedication, it is truly appreciated. It's so sad that you have to go to such lengths to keep the "riff raff" out.
