And what do you think about P4 and Xeon CPU ?
Is their a big difference between them ?
How servers can i run with 12 players on CS 1.6 or CS:S on them ?
Adrien
CPU usage reported by top was around the 30%-40% mark with 16 players.
The celerons afaik are just P4's with small caches, so they should
perform the same in terms of CPU usage, it's just the fact that less
instructions can be put in the cache with a Celeron that makes them icky.
P4 and Xeon I've never compared as I don't own any Xeons, only P4's.
Xeon IMO is overkill for a gameserver though, I personally think it's
more economical to buy a heap of desktop grade machines because with the
way gameservers constantly need faster CPU's and more RAM, it's cheaper
just to replace the machines every year or so.
You should get about 2 maybe 3 12 player servers on a P4.
