Good morning everyone,

 

I have a question regarding my server specs. I currently run a Quad core
Xeon with 4 GB of ram and CentOS5.  I run 8 COD4 servers and 2 COD5 servers
along with Python and mysql for the b3 admin bot and stats database along
with postgresql for the SCINTERFACE admin panel.

 

Am I reading this output wrong or does it look like the CPU is doing very
little work and I'm just a little low on RAM? I was thinking of adding an
additional 4GB of RAM for a total of 8.

 

This is what top looks like a couple minutes apart. What other tools can I
use to determine of there are any performance gain potential?

 

 

This is all cores

 

top - 08:05:12 up 14 days, 20:11,  1 user,  load average: 1.03, 1.15, 1.27

Tasks: 187 total,   9 running, 168 sleeping,   0 stopped,  10 zombie

Cpu(s):  5.7%us,  0.4%sy,  0.0%ni, 93.6%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.3%si,
0.0%st

Mem:   3631820k total,  3505428k used,   126392k free,     5076k buffers

Swap:  2031608k total,   168124k used,  1863484k free,   514304k cached

 

 

 

This is per core.
