   Ummm, we over here at Eve-Online broke 12k players this Sunday. We've broken 1160 before, too.[url]http://www.eve-online.com/[/url]But is this supposed to be 1160 people playing Counter-Strike together? On the same map? Oh... multiple games running on one server, eh? Well... our whole 'shard' is bigger :PI just realized that's 1160, not 11,160, lol.

Your game (eve-online) does not run 1000+ players on a single machine. It uses dozens, if not hundreds, of servers just like every other massively-multiplayer online game. The Unisys ES7000 can support up to 32 Intel processors (32-bit or 64-bit) and 64GB of ECC RAM running a single OS of your choice. It also has room for at least 128 expansion cards, if I remember correctly. There are also mainframe and Sun versions available.
