Ok, so I'm a gamer and my new addiction is Tribes Vengeance which is cpu hungry like none other. My team's current server is a dual xeon 2.4..... we never imagined we would be cpu bound on this puppy. Sad to say, we are. Vengeance uses the Havok engine to do real-time physics server side and we are hitting 100% usage on whichever cpu is running the game process. Problem is that we are hitting this at 20 ppl in game when 32 ppl in game is the desired amount.
:idea:
So I started checking and I found out that those xeons at 2.4 are 533FSB.... bleh.... but there is hope in the faster opterons and/or xeons @ 3.0 w/800FSB. So I started searching and couldn't find much of anything for either of those speeds.
:dknow:
What to do, what to do, anyone know a centrally located company with dedicated servers in that speed range that are ridiculous in price? We are shooting for sub $300..... we currently pay around $250 with the server we have.
any help is greatly appreciated.....
