Server Performance Issues re: lag and cpu usage, Pent D 3.0ghz
#8
The source engine will only use one of the cores on your processor as its not multi-threaded. The Pentium D's cores aren't that powerful to begin with compared to newer processors.

Yes, Our file server transfers at higher speeds than that, but the CPU will peg at about 50% usage depending which core the process is on.

Be careful with the 939's as they aren't much better either... Just buy a $60 Phenom II X4 B97 or 955 and a $30 motherboard, and a $10 2GB stick of DDR3 then you will see much better performance with game servers compared to what your running now.
Looking for a game server? Visit fullfrag.com and pick one up as low as $2.50 / mo!
