1. Its a good question. Many administrators optimizes their kernel to get better performance, which i can recommend. I have en overclocked i7 which runs on 3.73ghz and it did at least not have any problems at all with running a 64 slot server filled with bots. I would say that 3 ghz would do fine.
2. If you are running more servers than the amount of cores, i recommend to use the load balancer. If you run the same amount or less than the amount of cores i would use taskset. /Chris Sent from my iPhone 4 Den 21/05/2011 kl. 04.56 skrev "[email protected]" <[email protected]>: > I have 2 questions: > > 1.
