Thanks for the info! >Is there value in running one giant box, rather than getting a second machine?
For now it's just an option we're throwing around, if dual 2650v2 turn out to be doable. The goal would be to virtualize out all the services we run (web, db, srcds, etc). The other alternative is splitting across 2 machines with 1620/50v2s. Everything I'm reading and hearing about is pushing me away from 2620s for sure, but perhaps the 2650v2 has just enough horsepower to run srcds?
