Odd the celeron should have no problem with that very weird. But if you do want a powerhouse the Dual Opteron will kick it out with no problem. They rock!

Its strange that a celeron can handle it.

i have some problems with my celeron with about 50 onlines.

we've already seen that a lot of your CPU is being consumed by the Xoops multi-language hack....

Don't discount a celeron however, a previous admin job I had we ran over 200 individual accounts on a celeron. Celeron processors work fine for mainly static pages with some dynamic content.

However for a busy forum like that you definetely want more. I would go with a package that offers slightly more Memory as well as CPU power.

Even a Pentium 4 will handle processing a bit better than that Celeron is doing with that much dynamic content.

So... have you looked at the TIME when this load hits? Are you running your backups at that time? What forum software are you using? How is the site coded? All these things play into ways to optimize your site....

But as SKIP indicated, if you just want to throw money at the problem, get an OPTERON server...
