I'd recommend Ubuntu, free, robust and easy

Thanks for the help on this. I ordered a quad core XEON @ 2.4 and 4 GB of ram. Right now I'm running Redhat 9 on the original box, but I want to take advantage of the 64 bit cores and will be downloading a new version of Linux today. What are the recommendations for the best 64bit version to use with COD4?

I have had up to 12 servers running under Fedora 4 Linux quad 1.6ghz xeon w/ 8 gigs of ram, so yes linux will support all the cpu's you can stuff in the box. The real issue is bandwidth, my small development servers are on an 8 meg pipe and the big guy is on a 100meg. The more you have the less lag you will have. COD4 is limited to 1 gig per server, for just the game portion it hovers around 250 megs of memory each.

Hello All,

I'm going to be building a new server to replace a box that is running three instances of the COD4 Linux server. The current box is a 2.6Ghz P4 with 2Gb of RAM. It plays fine most of the time with two of the servers almost always maxed out at 32 players each and one sits idle for TWL matches. I want to go with a quad core Xeon but I'm not sure how fast I need to go with it. I plan on running as many servers on one box as possible. If I can get 6 servers running on a single box with no lag that would be great. Can any one tell me if the cod4 Linux server supports multiple CPUs?

Also what would you recommend in the way of CPU frequency and RAM. I was thinking somewhere around quad 2.4ghz with 4Gb of RAM.

What are your suggestions?

Don Stephens
