how to make for uses 100 % of CPU ?

My OS is Windows server 2003 entreprise

SRCDS is not a multi threaded program, it will ONLY use 1 processor at the time, so when you have 2 cores it will use 50%

ok, but I don't understand something.
How hoster can has to make turn of the severs of 40 slots in tick 100 ?

Thank you

[Drocona]

You can't

maximum amount of slots for 100 tick is 18.

on the newer dual core processors you can run more than 100 players DIVIDED over SEVERAL servers

How can one do that Drocona?

[cocoon06]

ok, on a Bi - Xeon 2 x 3.2 GHz with 2 GB ram DD2, bus at 1066 MHz.
What the biggest server can run on this ? (Tick 100)

[Drocona]

6 servers
18 players per server

should work.
