Question regarding rates and fps settings

[zef.]

Hi there,

currently I am running a cs-source server on a Dell Optiplex GX150 with the following specs:

PIII 1GHz, 512MB of PC133 SDRAM. Upload: 1Mb o/s: Debian (no gui)

This is a home hosted server and i dont expect anything huge from it, however I imagine it should be able to handle 10 players without any major hiccups. My question is what sort of rate and fps settings should i be using. Idealy I want the server to be able to handle a 66tick 5v5 for scriming on.

Current server.cfg and war.cfg:

server.cfg

Code:

It should hold the 66tick 10 players, I have a same setup here somewhere capable of running 20 players 33tick (more bandwidth tho, 1mbit is not enough for 20 players)
for 1 mbit the sv_maxrate should be 15000 at maximum or your server will start to lag.
set sv_minrate to something other than 0 (allow 56k<4000<disallow 56k)
The rest seems fine to me

Cheers ill give it a go. Thanks for your reply.
