How Much Cpu / Memory Load Does Ns Pull

Immacolata

<div class="IPBDescription">Compared to CS!</div> Let's say I run 4 16 player CS servers on one box, and there is no problems. How many NS servers would I be able to run on the same machine and how large?

I ask because a company that has offered to host an NS server suddenly got cold feet when they realize 1 NS does not equal 1 CS server.

memory is nothing... like 70MB of ram.
but lets say an NS server of 16 players will be like 2-3 CS Servers..

post the specs up would you?

Depends on the OS too. I run an 18 player server on a Linux 2Ghz box with 1GB of ram. Full it averages 70% - 95% CPU utilization.

and cpu type, amd seems to run better than intel

My server had a P3-600 with 384MB and was hitting 85-90% with 14 players. I upgraded it to a P4 (Celeron) 2.2GHz with 512MB DDR and it's still hitting 85% with 14 players :/ I run W2K server. I think some people have been getting much lower CPU utilization running under XP. I might give that a try soon.

50%-60% CPU

Stop opening new threads for this, when there is not only an _OFFICAL_ thread regarding this which is posted "webbed" above this one, but a billion threads identical to this in these here forums.

You know what the problem with webbed threads are? They're stuck there forever. It's like having a "Wet paint" sign sitting on a door for 6 months. No one notices at the end, but someday the door is painted again and people get paint all over their clothes because they didnt pay attention to the sign.


Same with eternally webbed threads. I ignore them. Not of malice, but by habit because my brain has long ago learned that they contain stale information.

Roobubba

what specs run what versions of NS well is hardly stale information. I would really recommend reading it. Please, go on, just once :/

Which thread is it? None of the topic descriptions says much to me. Im reading through some of them now.
