Hi there,
Right now I'm running a 32-slot CSSDM server & 12 slot match server (both 66 tick) on this box:
Intel P4 2.8Ghz (no HT)
2GB DDR RAM
2 x 80GB Hard Drives
100mbit Internet Connection
..it's on a Debian 4.0 with the kernel recompiled @ 1000hz. But, it also runs Apache2, mySQL, Postfix (basically a whole web server), and Ventrilo.
When I bought the server I thought it'd handle it, but obviously not. I get small lag spikes when just 24 people are online.
What do you think is the best option out of these:
-- Option 1 --
Keep the dedicated server I have right now but remove Ventrilo and the webserver. Buy a small VPS (or low-end dedicated) to run the websites & Vent on.
-- Option 2 --
Upgrade to a low-end Core 2 Duo (maybe cut down to 1GB/1.5GB of RAM for money reasons) and run everything from that box.
Your help is appreciated
Thanks.
