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