I just upgraded the processor on our dedicated cs server from a single
core AMD 3700+ to a Opteron 165 with dual cores, the OS is Windows
Server 2003, SP1.
Anyone that is running dual core, from your experience, should I apply
the Microsoft and/or AMD patches for dual core to this dedicated box?
I only have one CS 1.6 server on presently, but will be adding another
one this weekend. I would like to make sure each game affinities to a
separate processor core.
How do the dualcore patches, from AMD and Microsoft, affect dedicated
HLDS server operation is the gist of the question.
Dualcore patches change the HAL time method not to use TSC. You don't
really need it. The same behavior can be witnessed by installing 2k3 SP2.
