[Opensim-users] Streatching Opensim to far?

[InuYasha Meiji]

Not that is will make a difference, but I run 56 not 64.  I rebooted my 
system and checked stats.  The memory used started at 1205 and over 
night without any use that I know of, it rose up to 5349 MB.  I would be 
saving cost of installation, with my knowledge and my wife's good sight, 
I can do the install myself.  Getting all the parts for the upgrade to a 
AM3+ 8 core bulldozer on a FX990 MSI mobo and 32 gig of crucial DDR3, 
for under $600 would be worth it for opensim or not?

It will take me sacrifice and lots of effort.  I didn't want to go 
through all that and find out even that won't run my 56 regions well.  I 
thought I might have set something wrong.  I double checked last night 
to be sure I used MySQL for cashing regions and not the default memory 
setting.  I did it right, so it wasn't that.  Anyone know of any memory 
leaks in the ODE or something else to do with version 7.3.1?

InuYasha.
