flserver cpu /ram usage

Sun Aug 29, 2004 9:35 am by dragon2611

what would be the average cpu /ram usage for say a 30 player freelancer server on a 2.4ghz celeron for 512mb ram

i had thought of running flserver on our webserver but im guessing that would cause peoples websites to perform poorly (depends on whether or not it would hog cpu / ram i guess)

although if someone could tell me what the effects would be id be interested to know

the server is bustable to 100mbits per sec but if we mantian more than 10mbits for over 20mins the dc will probably pull the plug (its in their tos)

FLserver and associated admin utilites need lots of CPU cycles, so running it with another high CPU usage application is not recommended.

Ram is only a problem if theres a lack of it, ideally it needs 1GB but 512 would do if its only FLserver and utilites running on the server box.

Here are some threads discussing load, lag and CPU usage. (yeah I know I posted in all of them but those are the only ones I remember!

)

Running a server on the same box as something else, even a webserver, would not be a good idea. As Pinger says it uses a lot of CPU cycles. It sounds like you have enough bandwidth even at 10 Mbits so you should go with another 'puter. The restriction to the webserver would probably be the ability to retreive and deliver the web pages, not the bandwidth or traffic.
