There are plenty of Intel Woodcrest dual core machines knocking about. One London based gaming company took delivery of at least 60 of them about a month ago.

Although most of these servers run at a tickrate of 66, I have seen at least one 60-player 100 tick server. Is anyone on this list running such servers? What kind of hardware is required for mega-servers? I have a problem believing that even a Xeon 5160 at 3.0GHz is capable of running 64 players smoothly, even at 66 ticks. Cheers, Einar _______________________________________________ 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
