Re: [hlds] Mega-servers
We always quote CPU in terms of a single core doing anything other is totally meaningless. The server as mentioned was running Gun-Game so that may well have an effect on performance I'm not sure. As tsue mentioned if your looking to do 64 players I'd go for some significant hardware like a Intel 5150 or other equivalent 2.6Ghz+ of Core 2. To answer your question there CPU's are dual 248's Steve - Original Message - From: "tsuehpsyde" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When you say 55% load, do you mean on both processors or just one? And also, what Opteron are you using? I run a 36-man 66 tick server on a 2.2GHzAthlon64 X2 server, and on one of the cores it uses upwards of 85% at peak usage, and holds ~60tick most of the time, with some dips at round starts, but it's good for the most part.

Re: [hlds] Mega-servers
Sure, but as I mentioned: I have a problem believing that even the most potent model, the 5160 at 3.0GHz, will be able to run 64 players smoothly. Can you or anyone else confirm that such a CPU is capable of doing that at 66 ticks? The way I see it: A 3.0 GHz Woodcrest is up to ~1.5 times faster than the previous generation. So comparable to a 4.5 GHz previous-generation Xeon. A 2.8GHz old Xeon can run about 20 players at 100 ticks one one CPU, so the 3.0GHz Woodcrest should do 4.5/2.8 * 20 = 32 players at 100 ticks. This is of course just a ballpark-estimate (and at 100ticks, not 66) but since 32 is so far from 64, it is also the reason why I am having problems imagining a non-overclocked Woodcrest performing at such levels.

There are plenty of Intel Woodcrest dual core machines knocking about.
