vB installation problems!

[AMG]

I have a friend that is spending quite a bit of money on his server for his UBB!

He has about 5000 and gets about 5 - 10 new a day! When he tried to install vB he got an error something along the lines of Too Many Members.

I can only think that it may be referring to too many open SQL connections.

however, he wants to cut down the cost for his server & speed up the board. Could you give me some insight on what he might have to do.

keep in mind that the server itself is his

here it is if you want to test for yourself to see how terribly slow it runs

vBulletin 2.0 which is almost upon us will feature database optimizations and gzip threads which will decrease the load on the server and speed up forum performance overall. I'm not sure how much of an effect this will have though. The capacity of the server is always the limiting factor. And server cfgs are out of my knowledge area.
