At least I'm running 3-4 CS 1-6 servers with the hlds_amd64 binary and (!) AMXMODX1.60 in 64bit. The servers are running only with VAC1 due to the oudated binaries, but this means nothing for running public servers ;)
What I saw in the past: same servers running with only the 32bit binaries are making up to 100% more cpu usage! F.e.: one public is a 16 slot sniperserver, making up a maximum of ~20% cpu usage with 64bit, this server uses up to 40-50% power running under 32bit... For me and my experiences in the past, I will demand 64bit modules for every game ;) [email protected] schrieb am 12.01.06 06:15:19: > > Pretty soon I'm going to start demanding 128bit bins! :) > > Jon McDermott wrote: > > > > > Steven Hartland wrote: > > > >> lol its quite funny how many people dont understand the 32bit / 64bit > >> issue. > >> > > I understand 32 and 64 bit issues quite well, thank you very much.
