[cod] COD4 on Virtual Machines?

[Dallas Crandall]

I have run BF2, CODUO & COD2 servers under Xen, Vmware Servers, pings for me
have been good. You can download my COD2 VM from Vmware's web site. The
server I listed below is a quad (single core) xeon 1.6ghz processors, 8 gigs
of ram, host OS is Fedora 4. It currently runs 12 vm's, however only 2 of
the vm's are game servers BF2 36 slots and COD4 32 slot.

You do know that most of the game servers you rent are actually VM's or many
servers under one OS. It is simply to expensive to make it one computer for
each game server that you want to run.  My game servers run on 256megs
memory and up to 1 gig burst, 20 gig's of space, not real big hitters on
resources.

Hmm, interesting. And your verdict so far? Is virtualiation up to the
task compared to native installations in terms of ping, server load, etc?
