  • Axvius server upgrade

    Last night we upped the RAM count to 6GB (from 2GB). I'm pretty sure that was completely unnecessary, but it is still sweet. There are some weird things you notice when you get that much RAM: the pagefile is reported by Task Manager to be over 12GB, and the hibernate file takes up over 6GB. Hopefully...

    ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher ( "SELECT * FROM Win32_SerialPort" ); foreach ( ManagementObject obj in searcher.Get()) { Console .WriteLine(obj[ "DeviceID" ].ToString()); }

  • RAID 5 HDD Benchmarck

    I just finished running a benchmark on the new server's RAID 5 array. Nothing really surprising but decent performance I think. There are 4 500GB Seagate ST3500630AS drives in a RAID 5 using the built-in NVRAID on a Asus M2N-E motherboard. The OS is on a separate drive.

  • How Not to Setup a Server the Easy Way

We actually had a floppy drive, and even a computer to connect it to, but no floppy disks could be found. So...

  • New axvius.com Server

    Yep, we finally did it. After inching along for two years on 1.0 GHz servers (one or two or three as we saw fit at the time) we have finally invested in some big iron. $800 got us the following: 2.2GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Processor Asus M2N-E Motherboard 2x 1GB DDR2 667MHz RAM 4x 500GB Seagate 7200.10 HDDs...

  • Server Maintenance Notes

    Today I did some server maintenance. That would be the reason you noticed the blog was down for 45 minutes or so. (Who am I kidding, like anyone actually visits.) The main idea was to add some RAM, but I also removed a HDD from one machine. I have two servers, one of which runs the web stuff (all ASP...
