I have run up to 3 UO & 1 COD servers on the same Linux FC4 box. It is a Athalon 550 with 256 megs of mem.
I have not been able to do more then one server on any Windows server I manage. I am currently installing a BF-Linux server on the same box. It is not a power house but for 10 players, a server, on a cable modem, it does OK. If you want to check it out, it is listed as Srv#1 For Sale Cheap and Srv#2 www.crd-dwc.com in the server list on COD.
When COD2 is released It will go on a new PC.

You are thinking you will need a separate server for COD2?
I have heard almost nothing. The quiet is deafening, I think is
the cliche.
I currently have running on a P3.2Ghz, 1GB, 1 UO ALL weapons, 3 COD ( 1 is CoDaM)
on a Dual P4 2.8Ghz, 4GB, NonReg BF2, 3UO, 2COD, 1 UT2004. All running RH 2.4 w/ 2.6SMP.
Even when the BF2 fills up w/ 32 people (Which Rarely happens, but does get
to 10-12, and one popular UO is busy 24x7 (Omaha Beach), there is no lag
and plenty of CPU left.
I am wondering if I will need another server, not so much for CPU, but memory.
I wouldn't run it on the single Processor, but on the Dual, I suspect memory
may be the issue. When all is up and running and a few servers are busy
at one time, free mem gets as low as 300MB. Of course it is all cached,
and can be freed up as needed, but not something you want to have happen
on the server actively. When busy, keeping memory pages available for
addl players allocated, etc. is key to keeping it lag free. Of course
there are the brief 70%+ CPU spikes, but for the most part, even when
busy total CPU rarely exceeds 30%.
I was thinking something may go... COD, UO, or are folks thinking COD2
will be so different, (or perhaps another BF2) and I would need another
box?
If I got to add another P4, anyone know where to get single CPU P4's, 3.2GHz, 1GB
under $100/mo?
Thanks
