We're talking about servers here, bub, this being the windows
server list. You don't expect a PPro 200 to handle CS:S, do you?
I don't even *need* a video card to get max FPS -- I can run this
all off a Gentoo linux box with a VT100 on a serial port. So long as
the CPU has the MIPS and my net has the pipe I'm good, video doesn't
come into play on the server end. Boy howdy does it affect clients.
<hitches up pants after bragging about a P200>
Granted, to get the best video on a client that's going to take
some hardware, but inosfar as providing our players a good game experience
servers are quite different from clients.
Which seems to me that we ought to open up discussions on
server CPU, memory, and pipe rather than point at video cards or
client CPU for a bad game, but that's a different thread.
