I'm having the processor in the server upgraded tonight. Practically speaking, you might not notice any difference, but I decided to do it so we have more headroom.
The server chugged along like a champ on the night Tebow was drafted and we topped 1200 users online with the cpu (4 cores) typically staying in the 50-60% range -- meaning there was still some head room. However, I like to have a lot of headroom, so when Tebow (or Orton) takes us back to the Superbowl, we'll be good to go.
For techies out there, the speed increases are roughly:
25% clock speed (Ghz)
50% more L2 cache
33% faster FSB
I've requested the swap the processor between 2 am and 6 am Eastern time, and if everything goes well it will be down for 30 minutes or less.
