[cod] Recommended Server Set up

[Jafo]

Hello all,

I'm currently pricing servers for a server hosting business. We want to
start with: COD, COD UO, CS, and CZ (Condition Zero). This thread is
making me think we should be investing in more RAM rather than a second
CPU? Am I missing something here?

I'll be running on Debian stable when time comes.

Thanks again,
Jafo
