Depends on the motherboard, per memory controller really.

So is that 3 SRCDS to 1 CPU or 3 SRCDS per physical box?
 Or something else?

Yes.

There is a balance between the time that it takes to perform a complete
context switch, and the time spent processing the application on a
particular processor.

More specifically there are bottlenecks to all of these things, and on
most PC hardware today, the issue with running more than three instances
of srcds, is that the FSB becomes the bottleneck, or more specifically
the entire memory I/O around the processor.

Whilst some may consider running more to be acceptable, we found that
the data processing latencies introduced started to get too high, even
though it doesn't necessarily register full load in this configuration.

I hope this is clear.

Could you elaborate on what you mean?

All tests we did with that resutled in the bus getting too full first,
which increased latency to an unacceptable level.

3:1 packing is as dense as I will run.

Let me rephrase
Is anybody running multiple SRCDS (4 or more) on Dual CPU boxes with
2GB
of RAM

you don't need to do anything, srcds itself isn't going to use more
than 2GB *per process* anyways. *Per process* being the important
piece of information.

If you are running SRCDS on a server with >2GB or RAM what

boot.inichanges


(or any other changes) have you made (if any) to optimise for full

use

of



physical RAM above 2GB?
What are the options with Windows 2003?
What are the options with Windows 2000?
