I haven't been able to get on for quite some time and when I was able to get on now, I wondered if we're on the new server.

We will see good performance gains and we should not see slow downs due to sticky threads and lots of posts. But network traffic will still be able to bring us to a crawl.

Actually, everyone WILL see a difference. Going from a wimpy AMD K6 400, to a 1.7Ghz server with 512MB Ram and a 20 gig HD (at 10,000 rpm) you will see a HUGE difference.

I remember in 1994 when I had my first website, my friend upgraded the web server from a 486 to a P2, and holy crap, it was amazing.

As for Bandwidth, we're fine. Unless we get like 1000 users at once, we should have no problem. At peak times, we usually have around 100 visitors at any given time.
