Hello Guys,
I'm sure that some of you are more familiar with this than me.

I'm currently using a Quad Core AMD 2.2ghz Processor with 4GB of ram on a Windows Server STD edition 2003 32bit.

It will be used to host Counter-Strike game servers but..

1) I would like to know step by step on how to have servers boosted at 1000 FPS.

2) what do guys think is the best ?
a) windows server 2003 32bit
b) "" "" 64 bit
c) fedora 32 bit
d) "" 64 bit

Thank you for using you're expertise in helping me :)

The only Windows platform you can run 1000FPS servers out of the box is Windows Server 2008. Other than that most linux/bsd based distributions should be able to run 1000FPS with a little work on the kernel. If you're going to use linux I recommend CentOS

I deal with game servers on the side a lot. I find Linux is more stable than windows, and its cheaper. Everything is cross compatible from AMXX to SourceMod to ... MetaMod.. MetaMod-P (recommended higly over metamod).

MetaMod-P is dynamic on startup. Its more stable.

You want sys_tick higher and fps for better servers. Make sure you have internap bandwidth.

I have tried to use Windows Server 2008 however when I create a game server with the metamod plugin and I put the booster plugin I get an error msg when I launch HLDS, it says "end now"..
I'm wondering, with windows server 2008, can I put server at 1000 fps without using such a mod ? if so, what are the configs where do I need to enter them. Thank you :D

Make sure HPET is enabled in your BIOS if using 2008 to achieve 1000FPS
