8 32 player servers here. No boost, they run flawless, -----Original Message----- From: "Chris ." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

On that subject I'd be interested to know if many of the Windows admins use any programs which initialise the multimedia timer? And their recommendations/suggestons... On my servers I've allways run something to intitialise it, be it serverchecker or srcdsboost, and try and get fps around a constant 200 mark across all game serevrs... However with JDoc's servers and results, I'd be tempted to stop boosting my fps and run more servers...
