[cod] Mmmm... cores

[Dallas Crandall]

Each game server, as far as I know will only use a single core so virtual is
what this bad boy was made for.  :-) This machine in our environment running
Linux game servers, we would be able to run 40-50 game servers on this
single box! Currently we run 6-10 windows servers on a single dual core xeon
w/8gigs of ram. Remember Vmware allows over commitment of memory!!! Most
others do not.

sas raid, the specs where posted above...

with that many processes running I wouldn't virtualize it!!!

with that many cores I would hope so. I would virtualize the hell out of
that box. the free ESXi 3.5 server would do just fine for that, though the
biggest pitfall would be disk space - i'm assuming there's a san or 2 to
compliment this monster?

Are you going to virtualize it at all?
