Nerd Alert! Teamspeak is Running

Those that aren't familiar with Teamspeak please bear with me. Early this morning I was able to acquire our old server name and spent many hours putting it together. Certain updates were required and protection procedures were installed. After we install the Monowall unit my mind will be at ease. With the W2K Server OS too many services were running in the background thus requiring a large amount of constant memory usage. By switching to W2K Pro OS and following the advice of Black Viper concerning how to manipulate services and processes the memory usage was cut in half. I created a large swap file on the secondary drive and have a clean root drive that runs only the operating system, protection software and Teamspeak. This should make for better communication, a more stable application and less collisions. The ability to reboot when there is a power failure is now in place. A new power supply that is double the power of the one it replaced will help too. With the use of the new protection software I think these options should work glitch free. We'll see. My apologies out to fellow "cloud" members for the up and down time. Another Access Point is on the way and that will help that situation. This project has taken most of the weekend, but I think it's worth it. So, hopefully we'll talk about other things in the future.

BTW, Black Viper's site is one of my all time favorites. He has appeared on TechTV and knows PCs. This site just keeps improving. If you try any of his methods remember this post title started with nerd alert. Be sure you know what you are doing. If your computer fails just remember that Black Viper nor any beach housers were there with our hands on the keyboard. It's your risk.
