kaosx Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Just wondering how many server would the following server hold i dont want to over load it. I would be renting it. 2x Xeon QuadCore 5410 @ 2.3 4x 2Gb DDR II 800 (8Gb total) Most servers would be CSS and most at 66 tickrate also this would be a remote server Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbiloh Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Those Harpertowns are beasts. You'd be able to run A LOT. I won't put a number on it, but my guess you'd be very surprised just how many servers you can host without negative performance impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Crothers Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 You'll probably be able to host more servers on that machine at 66 tick then you will ever be willing to admit. Not that you would want to of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickPuppy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 If you up the RAM to 8 gigs you will be able to run 40 installs of CSS or CS 1.6 at 66 tic. The issue is not going to be CPU or RAM it will be Bandwidth you will need a 10 Mbps metered account burstable to 100 Mbps. If you don't think it can be done get on my ventrilo and I will set you up a remote log in so you can see it for yourself. If you plan on renting a box like that plan on paying $350 to $450 a month.

kaosx Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I would be in sydney AU data centre connected to 100mbps so it could handle 200slots ? if i can get 150 slots to 200 slots that would be great Bandwith isant an issue for me As here in australia peak times are weekends and early evening iam gussing id use bout 8gig Bandwith maybe alittle more and my box payment you were not to far off ill be paying 500 so if i get 200 slots that would bring ib 800$ 300 a month profit and yes the server would have 8GIG Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickPuppy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yes you should be able to run 200 slots on that server without a problem. I don't think you will use that much bandwidth. We have servers with 30 installs that are only using 3to 5 Mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbiloh Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 On the big island you're going to be paying TONS for bandwidth, that will be your limiting factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he really means is, prepare to sacrifice your firstborn child to the datacenter to stay online. I hear premium bandwidth can be close to $100/mbit 1-10 in some spots of AUS.

Juiced PC Gear Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Bandwidth in Australia is mad at the moment. Apparently in 1 years time that problem with will be fixed and Kevin Rudd is apparently making Australia one big "LAN" network as such. *sigh* I gotta see it to believe it.

VicToMeyeZR Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 yeah.. Australia really needs an update to the Backbone. You guys really are at a disadvantage to the world of gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
