written by KhoKing | 560 Views | 3 Replies

Hi,

We have recently upgraded our server RAM, from initially 4GB to now 8GB RAM. We are on a dedicated server with Quad Core Xeon processor.

This upgrade in RAM should make the server run smoother and lessen the burden on the processor.

Happy PentaxWorlding! ;D
