Cows?

So I have an idea of how many cows I can run. But I want your guy's input too. Here are my specs:

Quad-core Intel Core i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz

8GB 1600MHz ram

Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti 2GB VRAM

It's all about the RAM, CrossFire uses around 200-250 MB (minimum), so dividing 16 GB would be around 65-81 instances. Note that: processor means managing resources' center, and the GHz is the speed it runs with; video card is what manages graphics' quality and refresh rate, so it's about what your screen can show; internet connection speed (MBs) also matter, in this case, on how much instances you could run without crashing (I personally think, the minimum is 1 MB for each instance, with a ping of 150-200 if you live near the server [lets say, 3000 KM from the server])

(32~40/32~40)*(Mbps)

It doesn't work that way bud. And it's not all about RAM, CPU is important too as when you have multiple cores, 4 in my case, more power can be used to process and help the ram run more clients. Video card doesn't matter so much, but I just included it in there for giggles

with my specs that mentioned above I could open 8 cows and my main account but sometimes the client crash

but with your specs i can say 5~7 cows would be okey

That's what I figured too .

Add me on Skype, I have a few questions: fastifan .

You will just experience better performance with more cores because now you can dish out all of the work to more core processors.

I didn't say anything about threads.

Done

An application launches a process; a thread is a task to be made, wich involves providing resources to an specific process...
No, you didn't ever write thread, but you were talking about threads. For a moment I tought I was wrong, but your anwer only confirms you don't know anything on the theme (how a processor works), maybe you could had farmed before, but you wont understand (and maybe correct any error I could have [wich would be great to me]) if you don't know far beyond the experience (the theory). If I'm wrong, please let me know it and explain me why.

tl;dr

That's not what I was talking about. You are trying to claim a CPU doesn't at all matter at all when launching multiple processes, which is completely false.
