[hlds_linux] XEON or Opteron?

2007-01-16 Thread Jonathan

Hi, i'm about to order new machines for my game server hosting, but i
can't decide between xeon and opteron

i've tried a new dual quad-core xeon machine which could run 20
servers / 220 players with no big problems, but i also recently read
that dual-core opterons give better performance per server than xeon

id like to know if anyone here have hlds-benchmarked the two
(dualcore xeon vs dualcore opteron in this case) and come up with any
special results?

The new xeons / core2duo's are far superior to any AMD variety at the
moment period!

Yes indeed.

And if you want to save some money, just buy Core 2 Duos, not the Xeon
ones. E6400/E6700 processors are good choice for gameserver hosting. My
E6700 @ 2.7GHz takes about ~3% load with one 500FPS/10Players
matchserver so...

 Hello

 While trying to update an old server installation I get this error.

 Have anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it? If it is
 not a problem at the steam-servers.

 ./steam -command update -game cstrike -dir . -verify_all ...

You might try the Core 2 Duos. I've heard very good things about them.
Opterons... AMDs were never better than Intel for pure processing
applications. C2Duos are very fast (I've seen a few servers running 300
players with 2 C2Ds) but it's pretty pricey comparative to Xeons which
are now dropping in price and offer similar performance.

Benchmarks I don't know about. It'd be interesting if there are any, though.
