I was running a 24-man TF2 server on a 3GHz P4 and CPU usage tended to be quite high. The Q6600 (Intel 2.4 Quad Core) are popular for servers and from what I've heard, people can generally only run one 24-man server a core. However, I've noticed that CPU usage drops drastically when NOT remote desktoped in...
Unfortunately I don't have a server to do testing. ~ Matt On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 9:29 PM, Cc2iscooL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yeah, because I was going to say, on my Win2k8 box with an e8600 the > system uses about 10-20% CPU per 24 slot TF2 instance (with SourceTV) > with the media timer on. > > Karl Weckstrom wrote: > > Funny, 2 full servers in a vmware ESXI win2k3 instance uses around 5% CPU > utilization on a Q6600 here... > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cc2iscooL > > Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2008 6:20 PM > > To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list > > Subject: Re: [hlds] Left 4 Dead dedicated servers > > > > What processor architecture are you running? > > > > Matthew Gottlieb wrote: > > > >> Will the Left 4 Dead Dedicated Server have multi-core support?
