Server hardware

Hey all I'm currently looking into getting a box in which I'll b running some dedicated servers on. I'm still not overly knowledgeable about server hardware. I've been told by other company owners that one server per CPU is an ideal condition with a lot of RAM.

I was just wondering what types of setup's other here used and roughly how many server's they could fit on per box (without sacrificing performance.....on either 100 or 66 tick servers).

Thanks in advance. If anyone has any links to places that stock server hardware and what pieces they have would be great.

RE: Server hardware

Try Intel quadcores, 4 x 1,6 Ghz (conroe core) is only about 300 euros, you can easily hold 100 slots @ tr66 and 100 (mixes) on such a cpu (with 2 GB DDR2 ram).

RE: Server hardware

Newegg has a fair selection of affordable server parts, you'll probably want to start out with at least a dual core CPU if you plan to run more then one server. The more ram the better but you don't need 4gb's of ram.

The Intel Quadcore (Clovertown) isn't a bad CPU as it's based off the Core 2 Duo architecture and is still affordable even if it's a tad slow. Try to start with at least 1-2GBs of ram hopefully leaving yourself room to upgrade. Invest in good SATA2 HDDs or SCSI as that will help greatly on map change.

RE: Server hardware

Minimum hardware per server should be a P3 or identical AMD @ 1ghz with 512 RAM. Thats for a 16-18 person server at 66 tick. With that hardware you should be @ 50% CPU with full a server and spike to 85% during multiple heavy gun fights. It all depends on your NIC card and internet connection too.
