Question about a Dedicated Server.
#1
I am considering about purchasing this dedicated server:

Intel P4 2.8 GHz
RAM: 2GB
Hard Drive(s): 2 x 160GB
Bandwidth: 1500GB
IP Addresses: 8 Addresses

I am wondering how many 11 Slot 100 Tick 1000FPS Private Servers can run on this server smoothly without any lag, choke, ect. I figure they take up about 8%-10% CPU Usage each on my current Dual Xeon 2.8GHz server. Would it be about the same on the P4?

You may even struggle to run 2 servers full load at same time at 100 tick with that CPU.

Only one sure way to find out..

How about this:

Dual Core Opteron 1216 2.4GHz
RAM: 2 GB DDR2 667
Hard Drives: 2 x 250GB SATA II
Bandwidth: 2000GB
Public and Private Network Port: 1000 Mbps
IP Addresses: 6

This is about double the price of the P4 so I am thinking this can hold quite a bit?

Why not just host a big 33 or 66 tick instead? I wouldn't host a small 100tick.. When you can have a lot bigger with 33 tick or 66tick, it's the same.

Best thing to do is run 66 tick, on the internet that is. the difference between 66 and 100 is almost none, other than that 100 tick uses 2x more bandwidth and resources as 66.

Anyway that first setup will hold about 30-35 slots at 100tick, make it 50-60 at 66 tick. (I ran 50 player 100tick once at the same setup you have, it was real high in CPU%, not recommended at all, it started lagging around 45 players)

The opteron will hold about 120 slots I guess, but I'm not that good with big servers (never had the ability to test myself)
