Remember that the OS you're running will have a significant impact on performance, considering you plan to run srcds (linux seems to have a CPU load issue with the current srcds, while windows does not). In addition, remember not to jump on the AMD bandwagon; right now AMD based processors (athlon and opteron) are showing significant memory leaks when it comes to source. Begin the flames.

I'm not sure what you mean by "boosted". I would like high performance, yes. I am thinking of 66 tick rate servers if that what you mean? The aim is to run 4 x 24 man cs:S servers on there. Would a single cpu, dual core opteron (and what speed?) be better than dual xeon processors (not 1 dual core)? Also, here's a potential problem. I would want pre built and with the same sort of support you get from Dell - 3 yr next day as a minimum - within the UK. Many thanks, Tef. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
