A machine restart wouldn't help. Back in the Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows ME days it might have, but for the Windows NT kernel (4.0, 2000, XP, etc) it does not generally make things better.

Please email us with the results of the tests you ran in the lag FAQ. If they were inconclusive, make sure to include the time of day that you get the lag spikes and the maps that cause the lag spikes.

Lag spikes are most frequently caused by plugins or custom map downloads. If you run custom maps, make sure to use sv_downloadurl to avoid problems.

Wow.. restarting the computer won't help the servers... I didn't know that.. I always have to restart my computer when I switch to a different game.. then again my memory isn't that good

That is true about not having to restart the server, The NT kernels werent as bad at memory management as Windows 9x was...

So rebooting a server would do little to nothing to improve your game server...

I love win98s memory managment. It owns! Its almost makes ram worthless when trying to get your resources up.
