Not quite sure where you get that from (if I'm reading it right, apologies if not). Load is previously stated is the amount of processes on average that are waiting. For decent server performance (i.e gaming am referring to, webservers for example you can get away with a lot more), I'd tend to try and keep down to a load of 1, dual cpu's to a load of 2. I'd say you start to get more noticable problems when you get to about double that, so you can just about get away with a load of 2 on a single cpu system, 4 on a dual, but wouldn't want to run a box at those loads. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
