Chris at The VERC Collective reported that VALVe will release a 64-bit version of the Counter-Strike dedicated server that utilizes the upcoming AMD Opteron processor. According to the press release, the new dedicated server will be a straight port of the existing 32-bit code and has been tested to show a 30% clock-for-clock performance gain, with even more performance gains in future upgrades. This translates to good news for server admins and players alike. Check out VALVe's full press release at the VERC Collective. Thanks to Lestat for the news.

Interesting. Would this mean faster servers possibly? -

No, this slows them down immensely. That's why Valve is porting it over just to get slower servers.

What do these 'bits' (e.g. 32, 64) refer to? It's not the same as console bits, is it?Comment

Well, I guess if they moved it off the HL engine, they wouldn't be able to release it as a mod anymore...which probably means that they'd have to release it as a new game...which probably means they'll make some new animations and character models and design some new levels...then they'll have to think of a catchy name, like Condition Zero.
