BARON: buy a new server

[just21]

Get yourself a new quad core server, this site is crashing on a daily basis.

I have 5 of them already. Obviously that's not enough though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

5 quad cores hummming baby..

Baron get out to walmart and get 5 more

 

[just21]

wow, your efforts are appreciated. Is it the sever load that is peaking when the market is busy that makes the site unavailable?

 

[Baron]

No. It's the database software that can't handle so many concurrent connections at once.

MS SQL or MySQL?

It looks like 5 Pentiums from the old tech boom era isnt handling the volume

This board has what, 90k members? We have hosted forums with twice that on a single multi-proc server averaging 5-10% of the user population logged in at any given time. You need someone to look at your DB config if you're sure that is the problem.
