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.</span></font></span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>

<p style="margin-left: 36pt;"><font color="black" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black;" lang="EN-US">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?</span></font><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
