What Server specs should i get ????

[kaosx]

ok iam looking into buying my own server iam wondering what specs i should go for

 

Server 1

 

1X Intel Xeon X3220 2.40Ghz Quad Core Processor, 1066FSB, LGA775 8mb cache

 

4GIG or 8gig DDR2 pc5300 ram =333mhz or pc 8500 1066 =400mhz

 

 

 

Server 2

 

X2 Intel Xeon 5410 2.33GHz 12Mb Cache FSB1333 Quad-Core Processor

 

4GIG or 8GIG DDR2 pc5300 ram =333mhz or pc 8500 1066 =400mhz

 

 

So iam stuck with what cpu and ram mostly cpu is 1x Quad enough or should i go a dual quad?

 

Also what server would i get more slots on percore? is there really any benifit with running dual quad cores?

 

What would all you guys choose?

 

Cheers

Are you buying this server or renting this server? There is a big advantage with the dual quad core as you are running 8 cores not 4 which means double the amount of servers you will be able to run.

iam thinking on renting just to get my foot in the door b4 i throw thousands into doing this

 

How many slot per core at 66 tick do you think i could run on either machine

If you are just starting out, go for the solo quad. You can opt for a Dual Quad when you've got a bit more capital. When you're starting out you are unlikely to fill all the capacity of a Dual Quad overnight!

i am just starting and i got 1 quadcore for my master and 4 Dual Quad cores for remotes and game servers

 

Custom made from Dell And HP

Or even in the first month

Or even in the first month

Depends on what you want hosted on there, IIS? Master Server? Email Server? - This decreases performance quite alot

I would be running it as a master server yes and i wont be using the support feature in it as i use whmcs support feature

 

So how many you think i could fit on there ?

[Dan M]

around 100 max at 100 tickrate, depends on your tickrate though.

You probably NEVER have 100 players online on a server the first months. So you can host like 15 servers tick 100 I think.
