RE: [hlds] RE: AMD vs Intel.
This reminds me of my first dual xeon system. First thing I did was
fire up a 32 player dod server running avalanche. I wanted to see how
this thing compared to a dual amd system.
It was a dual xeon 2.8 system.
It showed the dod server only using 7% of cpu (which really equals 14%
of one). I got so excited I nearly shat myself.
When the whole box was utilized, however, the usage seemed to change.
It got back up to 20-25% or so, like it normally would be.
You haven't run your single processor systems at full load yet. The
task manager doesn't seem to accurately report cpu usage unless you are
close to full utilization.

Well to be fair the P4's are all 800FSB, using PC400 ram. Compared to
the mp2400's which only run PC2100 ram, and the fsb is 266.
Both CPU's are being used, and on my original test both cpu's were at
100% on the dual.
I agree that 2 single chip systems compared to a dual, will generally
bring more performance (in my case a p4 3ghz and a p4 2.8ghz), but at
the moment i have my p4 3ghz outperforming my dual by nearly double in
terms of cpu usage. Which just seems odd. I will be doing some more
testing this evening to get the p4 under really heavy load and see how
the ingame playability differs between the dual and the p4. I will be
attempting to get 60+ people on the p4 this eve spread over some big
servers, ill report back the results.
The 2400's are thoroughbred.

It wouldn't be fair if you were comparing a P4 with DDR 333 to
an Athlon
mp with DDR 233, would it? I'm just saying that there are other
parts
of the machine to consider besides the processor speed.
Also...2 single processor machines are superior to 1 dual
processor
machine in overall cpu usage. Mapchange, however, is a
different story.
This may sound silly, but have you verified that both cpus are
being
used by the operating system by looking for two processors in
the task
manager?
I am not loyal to either brand. I have both brands of chips and
I
realize that both intel and amd have made some good and some bad
ones.

Im agreeing with you, this is how it used to work when we first started using these duals a year ago (still under windows), we allow each hlds to use both cpu's and let the windows scheduler take care of it. However im not arguing that, im just pointing out/ asking for input on why im getting my single P4 systems out performing my mp2400+ duals.
