James Bond Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 I was recently given an AMD 2500+ Barton and i am thinking about building using it to build a small dedicated server for LANing. Is this a good idea, and what sort of mobo should i be looking for to go with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Smith Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 the 2500+ will be fine for a server. Depending on whether ur gonna run linux or WIndows the only thing u need to make sure of is ram. A good server will atleast have 1 gig of ram to handle that if not more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 I don't know for sure what is "enough". I run dual opterons for my game server with 12gb of ram... I don't think you really need that much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 I want it to be able to handle BF/SW/DC and Halo with a max of 32 payers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 I would go with a dual-processor setup, and run games one at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mist Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 Hmm this begs me to ask do people even read what he is asking? He said for lanning hence he isn't using it for a net server.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propane Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 wow... that would suck if we had to pay 300 a month to have a LAN... I ran a dedicated server for laning on a 1.1Ghz AMD w/ 256Mb RAM... it was tough though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 I run a Half-Life dedicated server!! of a 500 Mhz gateway "iv taken it down though" what you realy kneed is RAM!!!

bigred Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 don't complain about $300 a month. my little "side" business of running offiste storage costs me ~ $1100 a month. and I don't use it for fun stuff either. the only plus to is that it makes that $$$ 3x over every month.
