Hello,
I have a box with
P4 2.6ghz
1gig of ram
80+ hard drive
Red Hat linux 9
How many game servers can I run on this?
How many slots?
If I could, which should I increase,
ram to 2gig or up the cpu to higher P4?
Dont have xeon as an option, right now.
Thanks!!!!

well.. should have no issues with say 60+ slots MAYBE, depends on the connection as well.
Try experimenting with what you have, use top to monitor the resources.

Dual processors CAN help, however, physical dual processors are more reliable than logical dual processors, logical being Intel CPUs with HT. hlds and srcds do not thread its process across mutliple cpus, however, most operating systems like Gentoo, red hat line(including fedora), all the major linux flavors and BSD flavors should assign the process to the less stressed out cpu if you catch what i am saying.

well yeah.. because you're adding slots on 1 cpu, then slots on another cpu.. I would recommend having about 2GB of ram.
I recommend maxing at about 75-80% usage.

Its not so much as 2 boxeswell.. 2 uniproc boxes i suppose..
But yeah, more slots because you have an extra cpu to add more slots.
And, now that you asked,i'd say both. but keep more of an eye on your CPU usages.
