since i tried valve's method of adding thread 3 and 1 that didn't seem to work, i think it actually made it worst lol.
mike, since i run 8 core servers as well, I figure I would try your method out, since you said you had some success with it. how do you set permanent CPU affinity by commandline.. do you just add something like /CPU1 or /CPU2 to the end of the commandline? thanks On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 10:13 AM, Mike Stiehm <mikesti...@gmail.com> wrote: > You would be right but for me it did fix the high CPU spike I was seeing.
