Dan,
The difference between a 1ms (1000fps) and a 2ms (500fps) server is
insignificant and players can't see the difference.
It's not worth all the hassle to fuss with this issue, much better to spend
time on the day-today running of the server and focus on having a stable
server that delivers predictable performance for players.

What should I be looking for in Process Explorer?
I didn't want to disable ACPI, but that's the only way that I've found to
achieve 1000FPS. There was another thing that I read about if you're
running a pure Intel based system (CPU and chipset and board), it is
possible, but I don't have that kind of money to shell out on a whim. Any
other suggestions, as I'd really like to have a standard install with the
best performance possible out of the server?

Hi all,
I just re-installed my server 2003 setup without ACPI as I heard that
without ACPI 1000FPS on Srcds was attainable (and achieved this myself on
a
test box). Now with this disabled, I'm getting very very strange usage;
the
srcds.exe process will spike up to 95-100%, then back down to 0%, back and
forth over and over giving the appearance of a sine wave. Before the
re-install, I never saw any usage like this.. it was a relatively flat
line.
I don't know why this would happen. does anybody have any ideas other than
ACPI? Or perhaps a different way to attain 1000FPS?
attach process explorer to it to see what it's doing when it's spiking.
Running windows without ACPI isn't recommended, especially on newer
motherboards because ACPI enables quirks to get things to work properly.
