That spec can handle about 150 player slots, if u has the money for an AMD Opteron, I would try to get a single AMD Dual Core Opteron 2 GHz. This will give u the possibility to later upgrade to Dual AMD Dual Core Opteron, making it a 4way system (4 cpu's).
AMD has an integrated memory controller on the CPU which lowers the internal latency a bit, also AMD Opteron's can handle more continues load before the performance drops to the point the players get lag. To calculate ram, take about 150MB for a full course server, and 512MB for the operating system. 2GB is more then enough in almost any case. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: donderdag 8 september 2005 7:23 To: [email protected] Subject: [hlds] 100 player slot server spec? Hi, I need a 1U server capable of 100 player slots for CS:S (eg 4 x 24 man + 4 x HLTV) and was wondering what sort of spec I need. I was thinking of a dual xeon 2.8 with 2gb memory. Is this too much/too little? Do I need more/less memory? I hear AMD's are meant to be better than Intel - why is that? I want something with a maintenance contract (eg dell 3 yr next business day), though they only do intel servers, so if AMD really are the best then that's no good :( Any help/advice much appreciated Thanks Tef _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
