Can wow emulators run in intel core 2 duo processors? If not? What pc specs do u guys recommend or maybe what is the best wowemu do u recommend for long hosting this game?
My goal is.... to accomudate atleast 200+ players on my server or more? Thanks!

Besides I think that wowemu is not compatible with dual core processors (they might have fixed that problem). WOWemu is dead, WAD stopped development and the source code is not open, so there will be limited amount of fixes for the emulator. On the other hand MaNGOS is good although it is a bit buggy, and you will need to know a little about SQL, but alot of things work. I'm not too sure about Kobold, I have not used this program mainly because I know even less about python then I do SQL. But to answer your question you will need alot of processor power (probably around 3.5Ghz, and alot of ram (at least 2GB) you will need a very fast connection (at least 100mbps) to support the amount of people you want supported. This is all my opinion and not actual fact so ppl do not flame me..
Thanks for the quick reply.
Right now, I have 1.5mbps DSL connection.
The only problem is... will it run to core 2 duo? and I think you answered it right. I run some research while I am waiting for some1 to reply with my msg. But how some servers can accomudate such as 100+ players in wowstats?
and maybe I will try MaNGOS. just incase I start a server.
Well again im not quite sure about the core 2 duo, and the reason ppl have 100+ are actual servers and good connections (like 100mbps) and/or because they dont use wowemu, I have played on a very good mangos server with 67 ppl online and only getting 37 ping, if they werer using a wowemu server then you would get about 400 ping at best. It's your choice, MaNGOS may seem a bit much to handle at first but once you get used to it then its alot easier to customize (especially with MaNGOS DB Handler).
I think WoWemu won't run in HT Technology? core 2 duo dont have HT technology? I guess..?
Here is the link of the processor that I want to buy sSpec Details So, far no HT? What do u think?
This other link is my current processor that has HT sSpec Details
Maybe I will try it...? I will let you know if wowemu will run in core 2 duo.
If other people here have any suggestions and comments about pc specs. Please advice.
wowemu support HT processor. Solution has been added.
For currently im using on my server spec,
Intel

Well i have had 50+ people on my Koblod server and the ping was about 43ms...
My connection speed is comcast high speed cable and my comps specs are as follows...
HP MediaCenter PC
-AMD 4800+ X2 (about 2.3 ghz per core)
-2 gigs of ram (4 X 512 all SDDR)
-500 gb hard drive (2 X 250)(have the server and OS on one hard drive and let Windows use the other for vitual memory)
-512mb ATI graphics card
So i have all that and only comcast HS cable and the ping is nice when having 58 ppl online!
My server is on wowstatus.net i think... it used to be on their anyways it might not be anymore ill check though!
nice servers... What did you do about the hyper threading? What is the solution of this problem?
This is my list of specs to buy...
1 pcs - Intel E6600 (2.4Ghz) - core 2 duo
2pcs - 1GB PC667 ddr2
HD - I dont know yet?
Mother Board - Asus P5PE-VM i865G agpV/S/L/C2D
Video Card - Maybe the cheapest Video card
and this baby will only run WoWemu.
Well, i didnt do anything... i downloaded drakes and kennys 3.0 repack followed the simple instructions to set up the server... forwareded ports on router and then started up the server... i never got any errors and had no problems... so if you could give me some more info on your problem i can take a look into it for you...
