We always quote CPU in terms of a single core doing anything other is totally meaningless. The server as mentioned was running Gun-Game so that may well have an effect on performance I'm not sure.
As tsue mentioned if your looking to do 64 players I'd go for some significant hardware like a Intel 5150 or other equivalent 2.6Ghz+ of Core 2. To answer your question there CPU's are dual 248's Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "tsuehpsyde" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When you say 55% load, do you mean on both processors or just one? And also, what Opteron are you using? I run a 36-man 66 tick server on a 2.2GHzAthlon64 X2 server, and on one of the cores it uses upwards of 85% at peak usage, and holds ~60tick most of the time, with some dips at round starts, but it's good for the most part. Quite honestly, you're going to need as much CPU power as you can get to even attempt a 64-man, and don't expect full registration. ================================================ This e.mail is private and confidential between Multiplay (UK) Ltd. and the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
