Total Newbie Question

[zintasefa]

Hello,

I recently made the upgrade from a sahred server to a vps server. I did this in the hopes of boosting the overall speed of the site, unfortunately since the move things are now much slower. Heres my newbie question, the plan I paid for has 256mb of ram. When I view the server information via WHM heres what it says about the server:

Processor Info

Processor #1 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #1 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz
Processor #1 speed: 2400.143 MHz
Processor #1 cache size: 512 KB

Processor #2 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #2 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz
Processor #2 speed: 2400.143 MHz
Processor #2 cache size: 512 KB

Processor #3 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #3 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz
Processor #3 speed: 2400.143 MHz
Processor #3 cache size: 512 KB

Processor #4 Vendor: GenuineIntel
Processor #4 Name: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz
Processor #4 speed: 2400.143 MHz
Processor #4 cache size: 512 KB

Could someone please explain what this means? Whats with the 4 processors and should the speed show 143 or 256mb of ram? Thanks alot, I just cant believe how slow things have gotten.

Regards and thanks

its a dual Xeon processor that you have. It is one among the best; but you could have had 512 MB or higher RAM.

Thanks for the reply. So where in the system information does it show the ram. Can you tell its 256 when looking at the server info?

on the Server Status button; click: Server Information. and you can see the memory server has.

Does that mean 256mb of ram?

i get something like this on the server:
==============================
Memory Information

Memory: 1019036k/1040320k available (1529k kernel code, 17764k reserved, 1065k data, 164k init, 122816k highmem)

=============================

if u have shell access as root; then type at the shell:
=========================
cat /proc/meminfo
========================-
you will get the amount of memory in your server in KB.
