I run all my servers at 64 slots, ( they never get past 32 ).

BUt yes, you can run a 32 slot 100 tick server just fine as long you have a dual or quad core processor and a couple gigs of ram.. And for hard drive, I never really had a problem running 7200 RPM HD's it generally just results in a slower map change and sometimes can choke up if people are downloading from the server.

But otherwise you should be fine.

In our lan we are playing on 100tick, almost filled 32 slots, hardware is Phenom II x4 940BE with 8GB and game is running in ram-drive mode, so no bottlenecks in changing map or some database r/w. Hard disk is 1T 7200 rpm too, now we are updating css with new update and will hope not see broken plugins

Forget everything you thought you knew. Obox update is there and css is locked to tick 66. My bet is that the cpu usage increased so watch out

CPU Usage has increased sadly (only by 5-10% per instance), but the fixed tickrate also means the end of this travesty of having 100tickrate all the time.

Good thing I don't limit a game servers tickrate

Thats not fair (if your CPU usage has only increased from 5-10%)... My CPU usage was increased from 40 to about 90%

What is the cpu?

[lol554]

Its a Xeon X3450

cpu usage is just a random number for srcds/hlds servers. ignore it!

I find it useful on Windows based servers?

[BehaartesEtwas]

opps sorry, I though we were talking about linux ;-) On windows I am not sure, its long ago that I ran servers there...

[Terrorkarotte]

The usage increased is greater with obox, no matter which OS you are running. I am not referring to the usage display. I noticed that you can run less stable slots with obox

We currently have our servers running at 100tic
Very happy with the performance.
