-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Sure windows runs lower CPU %'s Sure windows may use less memory. However there is no way in hell I would refuse to sacrifice resources for a better performance. Windows has an internal system kernel resolution timer which runs 128 Hz by default (last time I checked), which causes your framerate to sit at an average 67-68, without any sorts of influences. Now when you look at any *nix base, you can quite easily see that you can modify the system's kernel resolution timer beyond the default setting. And to top all of this off, Linux 2.6.X easily has the capacity to run at 1000 Hz.

But some of these guys dont want to say it. But i will. HLDS IS BETTER ON WINDOWS!!! Thats what i have to say. If you dont think so then you stay thinking all day long. Its the truth.

ScratchMonkey, how long have you been on the list? This has come up time and again, and every time it turns out that you can squeeze more servers on the same hardware (or run each server with higher fps) on Windows than on Linux. This is an age-old question that's been "numbered" to death over the years. The fact is that the windows server binaries use less CPU than the Linux versions.

RE: [hlds_linux] hardware?
Hello, We have got a number of dual opteron server's running within our gaming platform. >From a number of tests that we have preformed, HLDS / SRCDS appear to be much more stable that dual xeon server's. Also adding the fact that they require less power (allows more servers in a rack on the least number of powerbars). We are also now migrating over to dual core AMD X2 CPU's. But we have found a couple of minor issues with the Linux kernel and these CPU's. But with the latest kernel release, this issue appears to be resolved. In summary, if you can get a hold of Opteron servers, I would advise to use them over xeon servers. :) Regards, Karl Shrubb Software Engineer, INX-NETWORK LIMITED. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kama Sent: 23 September 2005 13:59 To: hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds_linux] hardware?

Re: [hlds_linux] Hardware needs
Yikes, I go afk for a couple of hours and I come back to what looks like a Flamewar in the making. Couple of things. #1 My TFC server and the Router are not the only devices on the network. There are other servers and the traffic doesnt just go through the Router. Hence, having a 100 MB switch handling that traffic. #2 This has been a known good configuration for years.its just gotten laggy under load. It was physically re-racked within the time frame that the degradation was noticed. So the possibility of a bad cable or a poor cable/NIC connection makes sense and Ill check it out...I didn't recall that even until just now. #3 This TFC server sits in the middle of a server farm.a small one but a server farm nonetheless. I dont know how you guys designbut as cheap as they area well designed 100 MB switch get my vote everytime. #4 There cannot possibly be a bottleneck where the traffic feeds in and out of the Cisco from the TFC boxas even a 20 player server cannot swamp that router. I am certain that the Lag cause is isolated to this serverincluding its patch cable. With my ISP customers I would have had other indications if it was a problem that was outside the box. I learned very young to check the simple things firstand Ill know very soon. Thanks for the ideas guys Oh and...those of you who were quick to chew on the others for whatever reason, and Im only saying that because I care, there are alot of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing. :D Eucke |404| InNoCuL8R .JF ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

The point was that the HLDS server is not going to generate 100 Mbps of traffic if you only have 1.5 Mbps of Internet bandwidth. Suggesting that his router is being overloaded just because he has a 100 Mbps LAN is ridiculous. But, the original poster's problem is so ambiguous that there's little we can do to help other than offer random suggestions. Without him troubleshooting it and narrowing down the issue (is it hardware? is it the local network? is it just lagging for Internet clients or everybody?) we're all wasting our time discussing this at all. -Simon ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
