scapegoat · 09-March-03, 07:28 PM

Good news for you Counter-Strike Junkies. Vaulve Officially announced that it has ported its Counter Stike over to the x86-64 archetecture used by AMD's Hammer Proccessor.

"Valve, L.L.C., creators of Counter-Strike and Half-Life, today announced immediate availability of a 64-bit version of the Counter-Strike dedicated server using the upcoming AMD OpteronTM processor. Counter-Strike has the largest service footprint of any game on the Internet, with 35,000 servers generating over 4.5 billion player minutes per month.

In a straight port of code highly optimized for x86-32, Counter-Strike dedicated server tests with both 32- and 64-bit versions revealed a 30% clock-for-clock gain, and is expected to show further performance gains in future upgrades. "
