Sorry I should have said! we have a dual xeon 2.8 (2 x cpu's) with 2 gig ram also we do run multiple servers and total cpu usage is around 50%. The 32 dods maxes out 1/2 of 2.8 so by turning off HT i could gain full usage of 2.8 for the 32 player server (possibly 40 slots) and leave the other games in place. At least that is what I hope to achieve!

Now it could well be there is a specific valve issue with some setups where ht causes problems for their servers which by the sounds of it some seem to get (in which case valve should look into it), but I haven't experienced it so its possible they may not do also, and as I said on a none ht server, a 32 slot dod:s server eats up cpu like I eat pies. If the poster has a 2.4G dual xeon for example I would expect them to be maxed out whatever and would say 24 slots is the way to go, if a 3.8 then I would say yes something is amiss. I'm just a little surprised no one has even asked what cpus he has before recommending he goes and starts messing with the bios or kernel params etc. On 10/6/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Game servers are not multithreaded.
