kaosx Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 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?

Derek Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 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.

kaosx Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 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 cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingJ Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan M Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Depends on what you want hosted on there, IIS? Master Server? Email Server? - This decreases performance quite alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaosx Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 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 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 around 100 max at 100 tickrate, depends on your tickrate though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLight Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 You probably NEVER have 100 players online on a server the first months. So you can host like 15 servers tick 100 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
