Actually - he's right regarding Valves software... they develop on AMD - and compile under AMD - so it makes sense it runs / performs better under AMD.

Considering Intel have more than 80% market share and AMD only have 15% it seems not many people agree with you there. Stop talking shit - it only starts big long threads pointlessly trying to argue the merits of each company. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brett Fernicola Sent: 23 November 2003 00:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] HLDS CS 1.5 or 1.6 If you cant run 50 slots on a dual xeon 2.66ghz then your problem is not with valve although they do suck. The problem is you and your server. Next time spend your money on a real company like AMD. Intel is for fan boys who like to ride the bandwagon. AMD crushes Intel in all benchmarks with much lower clock speeds bottom ______ Sell your Dual Intel and get a dual AMD. Next Install slackware 9.1 and recompile with 2.6 kernel. After that you should be able to handle up 72 slots ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marco Balle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 4:59 PM Subject: RE: [hlds_linux] HLDS CS 1.5 or 1.6 Well, we stop renting halflife servers this weekend. New games are ready to rent for us (most Q3 engine, which runs really great). I don't believe Valve (Alfred) is able to fix the cpu issue this year. I think he does everything he can to make the best for it, but we can not run only 50Slots on a Dual Xeon 2,66GHz anymore. So we first drop the CPU hungry HL servers. That's the only way to keep our Server rental alive. The problem is known about many month and nothing is happened to solve this. Maybe the work to solve this problem is too expensive for valve, so we change our Gameserver offer. I think Alfred did a great job, but he was not able to fix the cpu issue. Don't know why, but I think there is a good reason.
