Haha it's probably not worth your time engaging him in a discussion, I think he's just bitter over the fact that the two hosting services he's been involved with have crashed and burned - like you said.
I'm not Pacnet. I'm his older brother.
If you
still think I'm Pacnet20##, then you are very wrong.
Why is this topic not in drama yet?
Crappy? Weak?? I've never exceeded 60% CPU usage, even with 20 servers running and players on at least half of them! Currently holding at 30% average CPU usage and 50% memory with 17 servers. Don't go bashing services just because you couldn't host a successful one yourself. There is nothing wrong with that CPU. Yes, compared to modern CPU's it's not that good, I just built a computer that uses a i5 3570K and it can run circles around AMD. But, it does what I need it to do very well, as you have seen if you've ever joined any of the servers I host.
I used to have a slightly better CPU in my old computer than yours (AMD Athlon II x4 635). I don't remember yours's model name, but when I tried to host a BL server on my comp, there was lag with only 4 players. The 1 core that it was using had been maxed out to 25%.
I'm sorry I underestimated the potential of your hosting service's CPU. After all, yours is in a datacenter and mine was not.
