LivingGhost Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) Oki, first off, I have a 6-10 mb/s down, 1 mb/s up internet connection, and other servers (non web) running already. Baisically, I want to use this to run maybe a 18 player sized BF2 or CS:S server, with teamspeak. It is running a 9700SE video card, a P4 2.53 MNz processor, and 512mb of RAM using all two slots. Should I just buy new RAM for it, or is it not powerful enough to be used as a game server? Thanks, noob If it's not good enough, 24/7 FOLDING RIG! Yeah. Just need linux to reply to the PM I sent him a while ago asking for a name change.

Uber Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 thats Lots for a server, although it could use mroe RAM, and a server doesent need any video power, i would reccoment upping the RAM to a gig, and youll be fine. it might even do it with 512, although BF2 will lag a bit with lots of players at 512, so i would say a gig of ram and your ready to go.

LivingGhost Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Really? That's great! I just need to find out what ram it takes then. And of course, it will be folding when not running a server. (Probably weekdays and mornings then.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean25 Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) I would not run an 18 man bf2 server on that 1mb connection. If you've only got 2 slots for ram you may as well pull the 256's and go 2x1gb if your mobo will take it, but i still think no matter what your 1mb upstream connection will not be able to cope and the server will lag bad.

I've got a kickass server for BF2 running in my basement right now... and old Intel P3 with 1 gig of ram. Upstream is just over 1.5 mb, and I can support 15 or so players comfortable, with latency in the low 10s - 20s. Not too shabby....

dean25 Posted December 10, 2005 Posted December 10, 2005 Thats good to hear, im still not sure a 1meg up will be enough for a 18 manner i think he would be better with say 10-12 max. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivingGhost Posted December 11, 2005 Posted December 11, 2005 Still not to bad for a cheap server. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
