Hello everyone.
I was just wondering how many servers this machine can host?
The connection would be 100/100
CPU:
AMD Opteron 2344HE
RAM:
4 GB
DDR2-667 ECC Registered
Harddisk:
2x 250 GB
SATA II 7,200 rpm
Hardware-RAID 1
I have 5000GB Brandwidth, would that be enough?
Im planning only to host CS servers, not anything else.
Thank you

I think one 10slot 100tick server uses 2mb~ bandwith or so.

I recommend taking a look at some Intel machines... Intel processors are better for SRCDS & HLDS imo.

Yea I use ntop on my box so I can get a good look at usage and such. Even at my peak hours my connection hits about 20mbits and my throughput per month isn't even much above 1500 I would not worry about your bandwidth. I would find a good machine for that connection though.

*linux output helpful?*
You: ./My_program

the traffic volume wouldn't be the limitation (and btw. strongly depends on how you use the servers. 24/7 filled public servers use quite a lot, while a war server usually almost nothing).
i also would recommend intel cpus for srcds/hlds servers. but: nobody really can tell you how many servers you can run on it. it simply depends on your quality goal. for high-quality servers run only one or at the very most two servers per cpu-core. anything more will decrease quality, because the servers disturb each other too often. this does not really change if you have faster cpu-cores, so one should prefer quad-cores over dual-cores, even if each core of the dual-core is faster.
