<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That link was also in regard to UT2k4 servers,
which I will agree with you do run better on Opteron platforms.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The thing is that its not even coming close to
maxing out my P4. If it was then yes I would try something faster, but im
not even getting 50% usage.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>ASE says the Nvidia servers are on 2000mhz
platforms, so they are either AMD Athlon 64 3200+ or Opteron
146/246</FONT></DIV>

running on? P4 per chance?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also what bandwidth u set to?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Basically u need an opteron top end one with
bandwidth limited</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to 128K.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For a quite interesting read for the P4 fans out

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone been able to figure out how Nvidia
runs their BFV servers @ 50 players with no lag? I ping 100 on them (
cross country ) and I dont lag whereas my local pub is @ 42 and doesnt run
as well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I fail to believe that there is something they
know that I dont when it comes to running BF servers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
