I can answer that question if Portalmaster tells me what CPU he has.

why is that important? its your server he cant host on and you've already seemed to figure out what cpu you need

If Portalmaster has a high-end CPU, it's his fault.
If Portalmaster has a mid-range or lower CPU, it is my fault.
By the way, my tests with Winter bite on my home comp. are complete. On the Athlon II x4 635 machine, the CPU usage was ~38% higher than it was on my VPS (which is what I expected).
On the AMD FX-6300 4.4 GHz machine, the CPU usage was ~30% lower than it was on my VPS (which is also expected).
This means that the Athlon can host 7 players before lagging, and the FX can host 13 players before lagging. The VPS can host 10.
All of this means that Portal's server is extremely hard to host on both AMD and Intel CPU's.

but you literally just said that its the cpu thats the problem?
--- Quote from: Hammereditor5 on March 16, 2014, 12:34:37 PM ---Yes, it is their fault for making their server so demanding. And the fact that BL is single-threaded makes it impossible for anything other than a core i5, core i7, or Xeon E3 to host.
I am sorry but RTB had a CPU with excellent single-core performance. All of my CPU cores are based off of an Intel Xeon E5-2620 v2 (2.1 GHz), so it doesn't have a single-threaded performance as good as RTB.

what im getting here is that you just dont want to spend the money to upgrade and theoretically hold more clients (or allow current clients to use limits they should be allowed to use in the first place)

This is because it would cost $125 a month to get this kind of CPU, and I don't know how many users will buy HammerHost. It could be none.
So I'm starting out with a small VPS, and I will upgrade as more clients join.
The only hope of getting this $125 server is if I can be guaranteed that at least 18 clients will pay monthly.

It's both the RP's and the CPU's problem. The RP is at fault because it uses a high amount of bricks, and the CPU is at fault because it is not good enough.
