Hey. I have seen many complaints lately from folk about server lag. Personaly, though the server diagnostics pages don't show this (its 3d mark 2001 score was over 3500 and CPU consumption when the server remains below 50%), I think the ole server good use a couple upgrades. Currently, the server is: -AMD Duron 1.3 GHz -512 MB SD RAM -40 GB Western Digital HDD -11.3 GB Toshiba HDD (for logs and downloads) -Geforce FX 5650 (complete overkill in a server) What the server would be upgraded to: -AMD Athlon XP 2600+ -1 GB DDR333 PC 2700 RAM -Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard -Same video card Cost of this rennovation: $320 shipped The Catch: I can't afford this upgrade, and it needs to happen all at once. If anyone wants to make donations, please contact me via msn for more information. If not, thats fine, server will just stay the way it is

Your server shouldn't need an upgrade.....You can run a server off a P3 800 with 256 ram.......
But Sunneh, are you using the steam window for the server? or did you get the standalone version that runs in an old dos window? When I first started my server and ran it in the steam window, it would lag like crazy when I would join the game. (same computer). But after downloading a standalone version and setting it up real good, I can play with the same computer and have no lag at all, and a constant 5 ping. I don't even have to set the cpu priority of the server to "high".
If you want more info, I'll be happy to help ya out. just msn me. Unless you're already using the dos window version then.....I dunno.

The server is entirely standalone (ie. the computer is used by me and only me for the gameserver and only the gameserver) so the lag issues can't be blamed on anything except the fact that I am hosting a 22 person server on a computer only worthy of 12. I like the 22 person capacity though, so I think the logical option to preventing the lag is to beef it up.

Maybe during xmas break I'll get rid of the stupid steam window and move over to the entirely console-based, save some server capacity. Also, I am going to contact the owner of the business "The Gamers Lab" and see if there is a chance of a more powerfull computer being set aside for my use as a second game server. The new, more powerful computer would take over the role as the counterstrike server, which the current computer being used as a server will be used as a TFC or DOD server.

If you're set on this, talk to me after Xmas and I can certainly send some money your way. You've allowed me the ability to do quite a lot in here on nothing more than previously forged respect.
If I can "repay" that in some small way, gimmie a shout. ;D

Do you use the steam window? Or the dos window? Cause it makes one heck of a difference.

I'll find a link to the dos install thing, and after that you just copy and paste your folders into the cstrike folder. It's that simple. I'll post more info today when I have time.

Also, I would like to pay under $150, but in all honesty I'll pay whatever is needed to get it done.
