What a stressful but productive afternoon / evening. We migrated boards.ie’s MySQL databases to our new database server, and took the opportunity to upgrade the site to the latest version of vBulletin.

Our new server is a bit of a beast - it has two 1.86GHz quad-core Xeons (eight processor cores), 16GB of RAM, and six 146GB SAS 15k rpm hard drives in RAID 1+0.

Thanks to regi and all at boards.ie for their support and patience today.
