Hosting a dedicated server can be a big advantage as it gives you better server performance. On a regular server, your computer must perform all the duties of a regular client in addition to acting as a server for however many people are in your game. As a dedicated server, you are not using it as a client so it can dedicate all its resources (cpu and memory) to serving. The only downfall to this is that you must have another computer to play on.

Post by: dead_kennedy on March 04, 2003, 07:19:15 am when i host a "headless" (i.e., non-graphical) dedicated server on my 500 cube, the cpu never strays above 70% in toto -- that includes all processes (but no other major processes, just background crap: mail, ichat, aquamon, etc.).
i'd be interested to hear what the cpu(s) top out at on faster servers. it would be one thing if a gig machine also topped out at 70% -- another if it topped out at only 45%. inquiring minds . . . . |
