servers - hardware

[fooz]

how well would this configuration perform? Just for public servers... L4D/L4D2/CS:S etc. 66 tick.

Dual Xeon (SL8TK) 2.8 ghz
4 GB DDR
motherboard : Tyan S2735-8M

thank you!

Probably a good 32 slots per core, 66tick. Maybe 2 L4D servers per core.

Those CPUs are based off P4s. I have a server with very simpler specs to that and I can run about 1-2 CSS\TF2 servers per core but don't go anywhere near Gmod you won't be able to a server with more than 10 slots per core.

With current gen hardware yes but those CPUs are about 4-5 years old you might be able run 20 slots per core.

Thanks for the responses guys. So we're lookin at about only 4 servers max?

How would it compare to dual amd opteron 270's @ 2.0 ghz?

Yes maybe 4-5 servers, but you really won't know till you try. As for the Opterons they are quite old about the same as the Xeons

CS:S maybe not even one. at least only a small one (12 slots?). that cpu is 8 years old!

well i picked up the dual xeon 1U server for 135$ .... hopefully i got a pretty good deal.

4GB of DDR1 ECC ram will probably sell for that amount, so yes it was a good deal.

[BehaartesEtwas]

but not w.r.t the performance... that server might be suitable for a web server but not for game servers.

Thanks MIG.
I plan on running the server from my home... 5mbit upload line. So even if i can run a few servers i'm fine with that. I'm more into Halo PC... did some research and people got around 8 16 man servers with about 65% CPU usage on 1 GB of RAM. Hopefully everything works out.

Probably one server, but won't run good.

This server has a very similar CPU to those ones, It can run a 10 slot tf2 server a 10 CSS server on it at 512fps fine the only thing it can’t do is have more than 11 players in Gmod

That doesn't seem to bad MIG. I only payed 135$ so i mean.... can't ask for to much.

Haha sweet. I installed w2003 and saw that it was 2 xeons 2.8 with 2 cores each. So im guessing im gunna be able to host 4-8 servers?

i thought it was just gunna be 1 xeon with 2 cores.... maybe im just retarded
