Why don't you update to this cpu?(I'm just kidding)

Much lower clock speeds, and it would likely cost a lot more overall.

Sounds like a great build!

Wasn't EMC already fast enough?

They wanted to make sure everything ran great. They're trying to tackle lag and other issues to bring in other things later like Dragon Tombs.

Also they now have two SMPs per thing than 3.

(FIRST ) As promised here are the specs of the hardware.

The Master Database Server handles all of the interaction between the game servers (magic like cross-server vault, website integration, residence management, etc). This server is already VERY beefy and will not change; here are the specs for it:

Dual (2) Quad-Core 2.4Ghz e5620 Xeon Westmere 24MB cache

72GB Ram

4 x 450GB SAS (Raid 1+0)

Currently we have three game servers, that each handle three of the SMP Minecraft servers (the resources are shared between three servers). Here are the CURRENT specs of those three servers:

Quad-Core 3.2Ghz e3-1220 Xeon Sandy Bridge 8MB cache

32GB DDR3 (10GB per SPM Minecraft server)

300GB SAS

After the upgrade we will have five game servers, that each handles two SMP Minecraft servers (plus Utopia makes 10). Here are the NEW specs of those five servers:

Quad-Core 3.5GHz E3-1270-V2 Ivy Bridge Xeon 8MB cache

32GB DDR3 (16GB per SMP Minecraft server)

500GB SATAIII (Operating System and backups)

60GB Intel Solid State Drive 520 series x 2 (TWO OF THEM, one for each SMP Minecraft Server)

The biggest gain is going to be the dedicated SSD drive for each game server. Currently three SMP servers are fighting for one spinning disk and that is our bottleneck. Of course the increase in RAM and CPU clock speed won't hurt either.

That is all I have to say.
