Reason: New server has a HDD RAID1 instead of a SSD

The server has been replaced again, but the hardware specs remained almost the same. The differences are: OS, 3xHDD 500GB Western Digital RE4 (2 as RAID1 plus 1 hotspare) and a decent server NIC. Here's a picture:

RAM: 8GB Kingston ECC 1333 MHz
Board: Supermicro X9SCM-F

PSU: Zippy Emacs P1H-6400P 400 Watts 1U Server PSU EPS
NIC: Intel Pro PT1000 Server 1 Port (makes 4 (!) NICs: 2 onboard (unused) 1 for remote management, 1 main)

As you see, it's all 1st class reliable server hardware, decent enough for our serious gaming biz ;-)

CEONSS#12 specs are:
  • CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K (3.4 GHz, Turbo Boost 3.8 GHz, 22nm), single thread performance 9% higher compared with our former Xeon 1270. Note that UT2004 can only use one single core, hence, single thread performance is the only relevant factor, multi-core systems don't help at all.
  • RAM: 16GB
  • HDD: 2*500GB Western Digital @ RAID1
  • Network: 1 GBit/s up and down, "short path routing", dedicated for gameservers.
  • 128Gb Samsung SSD - 21/7/14
