Best PC specifications for server's

well as the topic says ... first i dont like the idea of having 2 machine's for a gameserver ... so i was thinking ,what's the best to start a 120cap server on a 1 machine

i have 3 pc's 2 has INTEL CORE I5 each with 8GB RAM's and 2 TB HDD ,, the other one is a bit low on processor , Dual core with 4GB rams and a 1TB HDD ... i tried to use the jupiter map on with the first pc's and it doesnt load .. i was thinking maybe putting more ram ? so suggest some =P thanks ! no negative comments please -.- dont give useless words that will be ignored anyways

Not to create another thread I wanted to ask how much players this pc could hold with 1 region enabled.
quad 2,3Ghz, 4gb ram and 100 mb line.

Another question how much ram space 1 player takes?

u can host server even on pc with 3g ram.. but it will lag like hell..

it also depends on server u want..

if u wanna make pvp server than 8gb ram will work just fine
in pvp server u dont rly need many regions 2 be opened.. u can open jangan and set all spawns in jangan and u will be fine..

btw CPU dosent rly matter.. i mean speed only.. ram is more important in this case.

if u wanna make pve server than u need more ram because of maps..

but i recomend get 2 host and host 2x gs.. but its up2 u.. idc xD

***my english sux.. sry bout it^^***

Its okay .. so i shall increase the ram ? to what ? am thinking of trying first 16GB ..

much as i know and tested u can handle on 2 servers 8gb ram each 800-900 with 100mbs internet speed u can go more than 900 ppl cuz server will crash propably bcuz we runned server with 900 ppl didnt lagged and didnt crashed
so 800-900max not more for 2 servers with 8gb ram

I run a 120 cap server with all regions enabled.. even jupiter with mobs in all areas. I host it on my own home pc with my own ISP. I have had up to 110 players with no lag on my 4gb machine, I am upgrading to 8gb so I am sure it will increase stability. If you need any help setting up a server on 1 machine I will help you.

so 16GB ram for 120cap with jupiter and all regions opend on 1 machine 1game server will work ? cuz atm for me jupiter on 8GB RAM on 1gmsrver is not loading ... sr gameserver crash on 90% when loading regions ...

To work well it needs 2 hosts... Server is 32-bit, so, is limited to 3.5 gigabytes of memory per process. I'd say, main host: core i5, 12gb ram and second host core i3/i5, 6 - 8 gbs of ram should be enough.

uh so i'll have to double host it -.- ... okay fine then xD well ... im gonna upgrade my pc to 16GB rams anyway .. and 2nd will remain 8GB .. Thanks for the info =)

EDIT: Okay been trying some stuff out , atm iam able to run all regions except for GM EVENT/Prison regions other than that all regions are on and working , even jupiter is working now ... had to do some stuff but its working cool .. but still im upgrading to 16GB ...i feel i'll need it xD

P.S : the GM EVENT & Prison is not like they dont work .. its just idk what are they for ... so iam not using them thats why iam not making them on .

indeed well 2x 8gb ram is fine too but limit of players is 800-900 shouldnt do more bcuz 1000 ppl on 1 game server or agent its just not right bcuz of ram's and it it will crash i bough again 2x servers with 8gb ram for my server theese one's are for my own not my friend's or something so gonna be testing some stuff
but u should be running on sql 2005 bcuz 2008 r2 will use ~gb ram with 500ppl and 2005 maybe 600mb or something like that as i remember
Cheers

or get host with 24 gb ram and request bridge network btw vmware..

i think you should buy a entire new server.

rofl xDDDDDDD

i dont get your point ! why w'd i ? am talking about pc specifications and spec. i have are good o.O its running all the regions well .

i5 , 16GB ram

i7 12gb ram

Intel® Server Board S5520UR
* Supports up to two Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series1
* Highly scalable DDR3 memory (12 DIMMs)
* 24 lanes of fast PCI Express* 2.0 and multiple expansion options
* Support for RAID Midplane2 – integrated HW RAID solution, with support for up to eight SAS/SATA drives in RAID6 mode
* Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)2
* Supports server power capping via Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager3

In this case you can run multiple shard with all region enable.

i5/7's are not recommended for servers as they are not made for 24/7 stability. Xeon processors are.
You should also use ram with error correcting code (ECC) for stability. It costs a bit more, but it's worth it. I'm personally running on 16gb ECC memory, 1x Gameserver

what about AMD Opteron 3280?

Haven't tried it myself, but judging from the specs and target platform (server) it seems to be a well fitting cpu for these types of servers.

8gb RAM and you will be able to enable all regions, nuff said.

Why the silkroad files are need so good hardware ? comparing with other emulators they are heavy...

So they won't be ran in crap pc and there will be 534623754743523 servers

Interesting. Here's the usage of a 80 cap server with only CH regions enabled. about 150 users online
