should i upgrade?
i need some advice on my server.
i have a p3 1GHZ linux box with dialtone.
the cpu info is as follows
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 8
model name : Pentium III (Coppermine)
stepping : 10
cpu MHz : 1000.041
cache size : 256 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 2
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse
bogomips : 1992.29
my monthly BW is around 150 gb.
traffic is very high..around 100,000 page views daily.
my load average is around 5-7
9:04pm up 8 days, 8:47, 1 user, load average: 5.46, 6.94, 6.30
111 processes: 105 sleeping, 3 running, 0 zombie, 3 stopped
CPU states: 76.8% user, 10.7% system, 0.0% nice, 12.3% idle
Mem: 516112K av, 474016K used, 42096K free, 0K shrd, 22088K buff
Swap: 1028148K av, 20188K used, 1007960K free 315672K cached
the load average part worries me a bit.its to high.
but my sites open fast but the load average clearly shows the server isnt taking the load.
i want to upgrade my system and software to keep it stable.
can someone guide me please.
thanks
sohail
