How many players / server?

[thebrad13]

Hi all,

I'm running a lan in a few weeks, and I'm doing the TF2 and CSS servers. The server is a Athlon X2 3800+ with 2Gb RAM running Gentoo Linux 2008.

What will be running on there is 2 TF2 servers (one 24 player and the other 14 player) and a CSS server (32 player). Now I know this looks like abit much for this box, but there will only be about ~42 or less clients connected to the server at once. If it had all 42 clients would it be likely to experience much lag?

What do you think?

Thanks in Advance,
Brad.

Network ....

I ran a 150 user lan, and running it with a gbit backbone (no fiber) had unstable ping. When we did fiber LAN (Fiber between main switches) 5 ping all the time.

It all depends on your network, how solid it is and how efficient. Your server spec seem really good ... More than enough. Make sure your network supports awesome 0 like ping.

Yep running at a lan, with a gbit backbone (no fiber). and only about 50 players at the lan so should be good. Thanks

Whoa, 150 user LAN. How did you pull it off?
