Go for the dual xeons. Mapchange likes to have another processor to pick up the slack.

Hi people, It's that old war again and I need to choose sides. :) We are going to be building a bunch of 1U servers. For roughly the same price I have a choice between: AMD Athlon XP 3200 or Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz Prescott socket 478 or Dual Xeon 3.0 GHz The dual Xeon's are about 1.5x the price of the other two but I figure they're at least 1.5x the performance/capacity so they're my favoured option currently. Although I've had good results with dual Athlon's before I'm not considering them this time around because the Athlon MPs seem to be lagging behind the XPs technologically, with lower GHz and slower FSB. Anyway, I am just wondering if anybody has made any side by side performance comparisons lately for HLDS on these CPU platforms. What's your pick? cheers -Simon _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
