amd athlon(TM) XP
1700+ cpu
256 ddr ram
nvidia onboard grafix
1.4 MB internet (Cable)
cpu usage 0-2% when idle,
i set the taskmanager HLDS priority to high
placed the line hpk_max 1.0 in server cfg,
55mb of memory usage in HLDS
some 147 mb in free pool i guess... by the looks of it,
(memturbo 2.1) ram recovery and scrubber.
listen server, play and server on same pc
map change is 40-60 seconds
plugins 9 the usual, and ratemanagement no extra adds
created new DWORD IRQ8Priority

HL.exe and HLDS.exe consumes 30-40% CPU
when running togheter and 114mb free ram at this point

crash, connecting client remains dead even after joining a team and new round starts...

i do get warnings about memory to little, and map doesnt change untill ratemanagement kicks in with computed rate, before i installed rate it took a little over 1.20 minuts for change

"above settings is when bots is installed"
(crash caused by bots "now removed" mapchange still slow)
