User Feedback :: server?
I have a DSL COD2 Game server that is a P2-550 w/ 512 megs of ram, 15gig hd, DVD drive. It will support 10-12 players depending on the map. With 9 people on it runs at 186 megs used and no swap. My 2.8 ghz windows 2000 server with 9 people on it runs at 682 megs used.
Simply there are less parasitic programs running in DSL, and it needs less memory to operate efficiently.
