[Question] GAMING SERVER

[Ytys Vynsan]

Could theses spec host the following

1 mu server wih 4 subs
1 wow server
1 webserver

Heres The Specs

PROCESSOR Dual Core Intel

 

[LifeExpired]

The MU server will take up alot of ram with the 4 subs. Get some more ram and you'll be fine I recommend getting 4GB but its up to you.

 

[George]

LOL
2T hd?
this is sick, what files are you going to host? pr0n?

EDIT: they are going to be raid? again it is too much 1T :/

 

[painInflicter]

internet connection too low

 

[LifeExpired]

internet connection too low

1 mu server - 500 Max
4 subs - 250 Ea Max
1 wow server - 400 Max
1 webserver - Uncapped but I suggest giving it atleast 10 Meg of its own line.

2gig ram with 4x500 gig hdd's, why don't get 16, because MySQL and MSSQL will use 100% of it.

 

[George]

hoa
he was talking for EVERY thing that he posted to run on the same machine?
he cant be serious...

 

[budsmoker997]

on 1 of my machine 2.8ghz cpu 768mb ddr 160gb hdd i can run mu server with 100+ online with web going so thats sql,appserv,mu server,antivirus,mu client all kinds of stuff running and my comp dont lagg neither does net with 6mb dsl so i dun know what u all talkin bout :S..........wow doesnt really use that much resources

Why do you need two terabytes of HDD space? You'll struggle to fill up 500GB-1TB much less 2TB.

Drop the extra TB of space and get yourself more RAM. 2GB isn't enough RAM to run all that stuff. Especailly for what you are goign to spend on that server. 4GB is a min. With 8GB idealy.

Never the less try looking into the Operons also. Their new ones are much better then the new Xeons under a heavy load like that and the RAM they use is cheaper. So getting yourself a 4-way (2x dual core) 2.6ghz Operon setup with 8GB of RAM should cost just as much as that Xeon + 4GB. Also you can then save money by getting 1TB of storrage instead of two and then using that to get a total 16GB of RAM.

Then with that setup you'll have max performance. Xeons are only good on small work loads as they are very fast doing a little bit of work. When you start putting in more work. The bandwidth get's to much for the Xeons FSB and that's where the Operons faster HTT comes into play. Not to mention 4x the ammount of the cheaper DDR2 RAM will be better then the FD-DIMM RAM of the Xeon.

Thanks for the feedback
ive change the system which im saving for to the following

PROCESSOR Intel® Pentium® D processor 915 at 2.8GHz, 2x2MB L2 cache, 800MHz FSB

MEMORY 2G DDR2 SDRAM 533MHz Memory (2X1G Dual Ranked DIMMs), ECC
RAID CONTROLLER SAS 5/i Integrated Controller Card for SATA and SAS Hard Drives
RAID CONNECTIVITY C5 - Ad-in SAS/SATA cabled, 2 Hard Drives connected to ad-in SAS controller, RAID1
1ST HARD DRIVE 250GB, SATA, 3.5-inch, 7.200 rpm Hard Drive
2ND HARD DRIVE 250GB, SATA, 3.5-inch, 7.200 rpm Hard Drive

Feedback plz

& internet will be (26mbx2 + 10mb) 62mb connection

 

[Josh]

Pentium D?!?! Goodluck running a server like that lol.

 

[Ytys Vynsan]

Take out the wow server

 

[NoPeace]

Forget running a server with a Pentium 4/D. They are just not powerful enough. Switch it to an Athlon 64 and it'll be more powerful. Or a Athlon 64x2 for an even greater amount of power.

with u....

For a server of that magnitude you WILL need server-class parts, not just normal PC parts. As NoPeace said, Opetrons/Xeons, 16GB RAM, 500gb hard drive is more than plenty, you could go for 4x 250gb's and stick them in RAID 0+1.

Oh I forgot to mention, Get 15k RPM drives, thall give you a huge I/O boost

You can't run a server without a Motherboard.

I lol'd, that is a very good point. You may also want a power supply, cables etc etc XD
