32 players on a 2.13Ghz Core2Duo and at 95%CPU

Does that sound like it is supposed to be right?
This is my command line
-console -game garrysmod -tickrate 66 +sv_maxrate 20000 +sv_maxupdaterate 66 +fps_max 600 +map fw_orig +maxplayers 32 -port 27015 -ip 38.96.12.67 +sv_defaultgamemode "fortwars""

no it doesn't, is hyper threading turned off?
second, did you set the affinity to 1 core?

I don't have hyper threading turned off. How do I do that? I did set the affinity and that helped out a lot.

There are tools to run it at one core but i am just wondering why the old HLDS runs great on a dualcore or hyper threading system and srcds is killing itself on it

[Drocona]

I don't know why it doesn't run properly.. I think it just hates multiple cores (maybe it'll think they having affairs behind his back or something, SRCDS just wants one on one relationship).

It's just a bugger, I can't help it either

ontopic:
Hyperthreading can be disabled in the BIOS.

Tell me how to go in bios on remote control XD
I drive 4 hours to get to my rack in the data center but that drive is to long for me only for changing that :-)
Its in another country

Also, i believe in windows to set a process to one cpu (talking about srcds of course) - In your bat file (if you use one) before the /wait command you would add -cpu 0/1 depending on what core you want.

This seems to work for my windows dedi - saves the hassle of having to VNC in everytime and do it manually.

So what would be best to use for this setup

2.13Ghz Core2Duo CPU
2Gigs of RAM

As of now I have the srcdsfpsbooster running
It is a server with 32 slots.
I have uptime to keep my server from crashing and staying down.
I have a program from Tom's Hardware that sets the affinity of programs.
This is what i have everything set to:

server.cfg
sv_messageurl "http://www.darklandservers.com/sv_messageurl/"
sv_defaultgamemode "fortwars"
sv_downloadurl "http://www.darklandservers.com/garrysmod/"
mp_falldamage 1
sv_allowupload 1
sv_allowdownload 1
hostname "DarklandServers.com [#1] FortWars"
sv_maxupdaterate 100
sv_minupdaterate 20
sv_maxrate 8000
sv_unlag 10
sv_maxunlag 10.0



command line:

C:\hlds\server1\server01\srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -tickrate 33 +fps_max 600 +map fw_orig +maxplayers 32 -port 27015 -ip 38.96.12.67 +sv_defaultgamemode "fortwars""

Actually, i found out that the server is only using 50% of the cpu and it won't use any more than that. Is there a way to fix that without reinstalling the OS?

[Muppet]

50% would mean its using 100% of one core - liked you stated it to do by changing affinity to one core.
