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?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

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?<u1:p></u1:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

what would you recommend in the way of CPU frequency and RAM. I was thinking
