I'd stick to around 40/50 100 tickrate slots per core, should work.
On to the GSP thingy, there's hardly any profit due to other companies having real low prices and things like that, the margin is real slim. SO you might want to ask yourself is it worth the time you put into it.
No one has any sort of real reason for some Xeons not working well with SrcDS? Kinda sucks since they are a badass proc.
I have been doing some research on other sites about starting GSPs and all of them seem to say three things over and over again. Low profit margin, very time consuming, and most new GSPs flop.
The more I look into starting a GSP, the more unlikely it seems that one has a chance to compete with the large companies that have drove the price per slot way down.
Thanks for the replies.
