I would hazard a guess that q4 ded server is similar, although I haven't tried it yet. edit for clarity: haven't put q4 on that 1GHz box yet... _________________ http://mhgaming.com Last edited by Hex on 02-28-2006 10:13 PM, edited 1 time in total.

Now I use it for many functions (at work and home) You'll get more users, better performance. After I built one, I was hooked. _________________ http://mhgaming.com

I'm guessing you'll get 4 players before you start to page. But I'm totally just guesstimating. As far as bandwidth, I think a clean T-1 could host 14 players. ~100-150k per user (ish) was a d3 planning number some used, and q4 in theory should require less b/w. _________________ http://mhgaming.com

Hunkmegs on all q3 servers is 128mb. It just all works smooth. Fedora Core 4 distro.
