Here it is from the horses mouth so to say (as many call me a horse’s *edited*). The source server is 100 tic. The 1.6 server is default which is most likely 33. Lowering the frame rates on our server helped the registry and lag. Tron is a two year old $10,000 machine with dual opterons (older) and 16 gb of ram (newer). It continuously runs 5-6 servers at all times. Each server is fully logged, which requires faster hard drives. Every time someone hits someone, the round restarts, someone dies or spawns or joins, in every server we have, it is logged. Imagine how much reading/writing that is in a single day. To run a single source server of about 16 players wouldn’t take quite as much. Any half way decent machine today would be able to do it. The reason you ping so well to WCU is because Tron has special internets on an OC3 (now OC12) connection. If you don’t know what all that means google it. I’m just rambling at this point anyways.
