My server, which powers this blog, my web site, several other websites and a bunch of email, is now running on 1 GB of RAM.
We used to run on 512MB, which was barely adequate. The server ran alright, but it was starting to swap. Plus I’ve been adding a bunch of web sites to it and other stuff that is exercising it more.
So I bought a lot of ten 256MB RAM sticks on eBay. I only needed four, so I turned the other six around and sold them again. I hate to say what I paid… Suffice it to say that I ended up paying about $100 for the upgrade.
But, I just listed the four 128MB sticks that I took out, so hopefully they will sell and thus lower the bill even more.
