Spring Sale Question

[12114]

in light of the fact that you guys have a spring sale going on, i'd like to upgrade and lock in my simngle core windows vps to the 34.99 two core option for only 5$ more.

So i'd get to keep all the settings right, same ips and nothing will be touched?

If yes, what should i put for initial OS and Location then? I don't want anything changed

Yes, you keep everything. Change the options you want changed(single core to 2 core), set the initial OS and location to your current location and OS and you should be good to go.

After you click on the submit order button you will get a page summarizing the changes, verify everything is correct and continue to do the upgrade. Your vds will need a reboot to apply the upgrades.

alright ty i did it.

There was only one odd thing that happened... cs 1.6 server fps went from 64 to 100 by itself after the upgrade..

and also my ram usage went up by 300 mb

If you are using windows:

On the desktop side, upgrading ram usually meant higher usage. I am not surprised to see a ram jump when upgrading from 1GB to 2GB.

Did you toggle the HPET setting in the "server control" tab of the control panel? I think this can cause a fps bump. You don't want 64 fps on 1.6 anyway

CS 1.6 runs at a different FPS/tickrate if you do not have the multimedia timer enabled (most other games, including Orangebox games, enable the multimedia timer automatically). You can enable the multimedia timer with a program like "srcdsfpsboost", and your FPS will jump up to 500 or 1000.

Yea I guess HPET auto ticks for 2+ core machines..

anyway ty soja

[Edge100x]

HPET should auto-tick for all Windows installs. However, MS uses a different CPU driver in Win2k3 for single-CPU machines than for multiple-CPU systems, I believe (Win2k3 also ignores HPET).

yea makes sense. also i was using mmtimer before for 1.6 fps boosting.
anyway ty edge
