We currently have a pair of brand new Intel Quad Core servers on order to help resolve a lot of the performance issues we're currently experiencing, in particular with our database server. The new servers will address the periods of high load, slowness and lag that we've been seeing.
The servers should be going up this coming week and we'll be making the switch soon afterwards.
I'll post a further notice prior to the switch to let everyone know when this will be happening.

education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary.
Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear
of punishment and hope of reward after death."

This is good. Are these the ones that come with anti-gravity units?
