Hi,
We use 8gb of ram for our directadmin server at the moment.
My question is whether upgrading from 8gb to 24gb ram will help the load average of the server stay lower?
The hosting company can provide us the upgrade to our dedicated server very cheap so i said why not.
Also someone who can read the data in process monitor can explain, how these memory numbers should look like in order to know if i need more ram or not?
This is from very low peak hours:
top - 00:39:28 up 7 days, 12:08, 0 users, load average: 0.20, 0.19, 0.25
Tasks: 189 total, 2 running, 187 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.3%us, 0.7%sy, 2.5%ni, 94.8%id, 1.6%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.1%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 8147564k total, 7951628k used, 195936k free, 1426732k buffers
Swap: 4200888k total, 2656k used, 4198232k free, 3325972k cached
Thanks
