Auss 208 Posted June 16, 2006 We are looking at building an Opteron dual core twin CPU server for the upcoming release of AA. My Question (and I hope BIS can help the community out here) Does OFP and AA benefit from having this hardware as opposed to having a fast single core. I've heard that OFP has issues with dual core CPU'S in so far syncing, will AA be multithreaded? This is a big outlay for our small community and as such we need to know what specs will be most benificial for us and indeed the AA community. I hope BIS can shed some light as to the best set up for us to purchase so that others can follow suit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeRp 1 Posted June 16, 2006 I would simply suggest to wait for Armed Assaults release, because this will be the day BIS can make definate statements regarding performance, etc. This is the same thing I am doing right now. I'm waiting for Armed ASsaults release and that day I'll buy my new machine so I can ensure I got the right hardware for the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nathan Bedford Forrest 0 Posted June 17, 2006 I'm sure I saw somewhere that ArmA at the moment is not optimised for dual core but that there is a massive performance boost when using 64 bit processors [cough AMD cough] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j w 0 Posted June 17, 2006 There are Intel with 64bit, afaik. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deanosbeano 0 Posted June 17, 2006 surely you dont need all that power if its only a server ? i think you could save some money on the cpu and get more ram , especially if your going to hosting alot of addons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auss 208 Posted June 17, 2006 we will be running 2 gig per CPU so 4 gig in total. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemesis6 0 Posted June 17, 2006 Personally, I'm going for a P5WD2 with a Socket 775 Intel Core Duo 2 processor with 4 Mbs L2 cache and 2.1 or above MHZs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j w 0 Posted June 17, 2006 The s775 3Ghz 2x2 isn't too expensive.. The 3.4Ghz is pretty more expensive.. seems to be stupid to get that one atm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
