We are installing a test machine this weekend, a nice Dual opteron with 4 GB or ram. I have the following OS's on it: 1. Suse 9.0 i386 2. Suse 9.0 x86_64 3. Windows XP 32 4. Windows XP 64 5. FreeBSD
Over the coming weeks weeks we will be running tests to determine the best OS for a number of the key game servers. On my list ATM is: 1. hlds_ls 2. ut2k4 3. bf1942 / bfv
I'll post the server details here when they are up so you can all give them a good bashing if people are interested.
If you can please provide also the info on how the tests are handled, like running processes in win2k3, running processes on *nix and so on, that could be a good way of comparing the benchmarks, and also the tools you used for the benchmarks and how you reached your conclusions.

I'm very much surprised (maybe I shouldn't be) at the ratio of analytical to anecdotal evidence in this thread. I know that a lot of you make money by hosting game servers, and usually when money is on the line, people get a lot more serious about value for the money.
Based on the comments thus far, it seems it's *impossible* that win2k3 could outperfom *nix, and if it does for HLDS, it's only because of poorly coded binaries.
Again, some sort of validation behind that would be interesting to know.
Anyway, like I promised, I'll post spec/benchmark comparisons when the migration is finished.
