If you are hosting from home I would bet that your upstream bandwidth is more at issue than the hardware. I currently host 4 public sites on a single processor P3-500 and my utilization is rarely above 10%, even under peak loads. I would double check your utilization using Task Manager for quick reference. If your utilization is low, then it's not a hardware issue. Of course.. a faster system would be nice <img src="/forum/emoticons/wink.gif" alt=";-)"> <hr size="1" width="50%" align="left" />dotNetBB Forum Developer Building A Better Community, One Post At A Time <a href="http://www.dotnetbb.com" target="_blank">www.dotnetbb.com</a>
