True, but 320/5/4 is still 16 servers.. and i stop at 5, so basicly i can have 4 in vs mode (32 players) and thats my max.
Just talking out loud, but i presume this is normal when they are active which is almost all the time. (i have people on it at the strangest times) but i have to say i have a lot of custom content (vpk files) on there, which attracts a lot of people too. Dont know if those maps have impact on cpu, death aboard is i think around 550mb.. O well, maybe time for a upgrade too :) On Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:33:55 +0800, Ben Jensz <[email protected]> wrote: > E5450 != 3Ghz classic Xeons. > > A single core (of which there are 4) on an E5450 is more powerful than a > 3Ghz Xeon CPU. > > > > Eric Riemers wrote: >> I have a dual xeon 3ghz, i had 6 forks running on it, but with 5x 8 >> people >> in versus mode people >> started to complain and i indeed could see that the cpu's where maxed >> out. >> >> Running on linux debian, but if i hear these story's then it should be >> able to do more no? >> >> On Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:54:53 +0800, Ben Jensz <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> The night that Nick is referring to was when the Survival pack was >>> released.
