#1
hello,

i can buy a server,
4 × XEON 700 Mhz... and 4 GB Memory.
does anyone know if srcds uses only 1 CPU or will it use all 4 ?
if it uses all 4 it will be fast to load, but if it does only use 1 server, it will suck Smile

anyone got expierence with it ?

Greetz,
Guido

4x700 won't run shit to be honest...

that's like 40 players total if you're lucky.

If you get a dualcore P4 you'll already double that number.

yhe i suppose it wont. only 700 Mhz total for srcds :|
but if it only uses 1 CORE why should it be a Dualcore P4 then ?

another question, when changing a map.. will it use CPU Or more UploadSpeed ?
now i got 400 kb/s upload. and running 6 slots server.
the server runs good, but when the map is changing sometimes it takes more than 1 or 2 minutes to load the next map...
now i got: Amd Athlon 2.1 GHZ. 1 GB Ram Internal Memory.
when i look in Taskmanager, it uses a LOT of cpu in the beginning of the mapchange, but after that it doesn't get near the 20%
and my NetworkManager also give rates below the 30%

should i upgrade my server ?
in 2 month's i get 800 kb/s Big Grin

Well with that upload you don't really ahve to upgrade at all (I used to run a 16 player server on a 933MHz P3) and it was perfectly fine. (and you won't reach 14 players with 800kbps upload)
