Jasbo 0 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Greetings, Has anyone ever run GR on Windows 2000 Profesional? I am putting together a Dual Athlon Server w/ 2 AMD MP2200 Cpus and 2GB Ram. The system has Win2K Profesional on it and was just wondering what headaches I may run into? Thanks in advance! =Jasbo= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson 0 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Ive got Win2000 Prof. There is no reason why Ghost Recon wont work on Win2k Prof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 The only thing that I could forsee happening, and I cant say if they will or wont, is this. Multi proc support, and memory leaks with 2 GB of RAM, especially if you are using an Nvidia card, as that was a known issue with Nvidia before. And thats only with 2K Pro. I dont think those issues would exist with a 2K server OS, but with Pro, its conceivable they could happen, as pro wasnt meant to control that kind of power, nor allocate resources the way a server does. Pro was designed for workstations, and corporate home users. Like I said, I cant say if they will happen or they wont. Merely something to consider if you start having GR issues.

Jasbo 0 Posted June 24, 2003 Author Share Posted June 24, 2003 Thanks Guys! I hope to have a new GR dedicated server up and running soon. Thanks for the posts =Jasbo= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 (edited) @silent death I wasnt disputing the fact that it will run on 2K. I know it runs very well on 2K Pro. But 2K pro wasnt designed as a server, and may have issues, particularly with the amount of RAM he is using, when allocating to 3rd party programs like GR.. It is the resource allocation I was mentioning, and a couple known issues was all. He isnt using a standard machine there.

Jasbo 0 Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 Do you guys have an OS recomendation for putting together a dedicated GR server? I work in the computer industry but 99.9% Unix so I am not an expert on Windows. I run MS Winblows at home for my GR addiction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter 0 Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Id use Winblows XP or Win2K Server. Also check out www.transgaming.com for a fully directx compatible gaming version of Wine called WineX. I can run GR in WiNE through SuSE, and as soon as I get some cash, will be purchasing that program and dumping Winblows. But if you go Winblows, I recommend XP.
