DaveTurnbull Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 So I've been looking for some decent dedicated servers, and SoftLayer seem to have a decent deal. https://www.softlayer.com/order_form/order.html?so_id=5&ITEM_PRICES[disk_system]=7&ITEM_PRICES[server]=264 That should be a decent enough server to run 2-3 games of, say, BF2142, or Prey right? I know I can't get are definite "Yes" or "No" for that question, just an estimate would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIS-MOTHER Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 If they bill on 95th percentile you might just pop your quota if they run full 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 It would depend on how many slots and how many BF2142 servers that you run. HIS-MOTHER is right in saying that the BF2142 servers will eat bandwidth if they are contantly full. Fear should not be a problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTurnbull Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 hmmmmm. Alright, I'm mainly concerned about the CPU usage than bandwidth (BF2142 was just an example), as bandwidth can be pretty cheap. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Well CPU wise I think a 48 titan server could take up to 30% on that machine. BF2142 is a beast all around with both CPU, RAM and bandwidth. Best advice is to grab what is in your price range and load it up so you can see.

I'll be buying my copy of TCadmin in a couple of weeks, and then start messing around with various servers to test the CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daersun Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 If they bill on 95th percentile you might just pop your quota if they run full 24/7. It says right there its a per gb based server. I dont think it would pop his quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIS-MOTHER Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 It says right there its a per gb based server. I dont think it would pop his quota. The package he linked to had 2000GB which is what? roughly 6meg. 2 full BF servers of any flavor 32+ slots will hit around 8meg and we all know that 3 meg is actually like 2 on 95th.(meaning use 2 but counts as 3) but you are right, the best way is to load it up and have a look see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Most BF servers won't be full 24/7 because they crash so damn much anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
