[hlds] RE: win2k3 services

2004-09-15 Thread Mark Duffy
Depends really where I administer, because of some programs we use are
mission critical if they go down we have 3000 users unable to do any work,
Microsoft's patches could disrupt this if there is conflict with the update
and the programs, so no we don't use automatic updates, all our updates are
applied manually and logged after being tested upon the test network.

One word of advice, If you are going to use auto updates make sure that it
is done when there are fewest users using systems.

I also have to agree SMS is the way forward it will save engineers a lot of
time patching, especially workstations on remote sites, only issue is slow
links i.e 128k

Just out of interest why are you running w2k adv server, you are obviously
not using the extra features of adv. Server running CS why don't you
downgrade to 2k server and save yourself some money (like 1/2 the cost) on
licensing, that's if the copies you are using are originals.

I think most of us will agree it is usually a recipe for disaster, but
if it works for you then feel free to knock yourself out!

[hlds] RE: AMD vs Intel.

Dumb question but does the software (mods and game) actually support multi
processors?

Just a thought

[hlds] Hyperthreading

2004-07-05 Thread mark duffy
I dislike hyperthreading I don't see the point in it as cpu resources are
being shared, pople should just stop being so tight and buy a dual or quad
or even eight way system then you will see true performance :D

[hlds] Windows 2000 or Windows 2003?

2004-07-04 Thread mark duffy
This thread appears to have gone completely OT as it was supposed to be
about Windows 2000 or Windows 2003? but has moved onto some lame argument
about p3 processors and weather or not they have HT technology the answer to
it is NO! only p4 some processors have it

Currently looking into blade servers and how well thay are at coping with
multiple games running on them just think of all that saved rack space :D
