want to set up

[alpine]

I am wondering what the minimal requirements for me to set up a 5.5 server are. I have a spare comp and want to try my hand at it.

Post your computers ghz, MB of ram, processor....etc. Kinda hard to say what the *requirements* are

[wize_one]

rule of thumb is if you can play eq on it, without it almost dieing, you can run a server.

Read the guides on how to set up your own server. It tells you step by step how to do it and what software you will need to do so, and how to install MySQL and so on...

Just takea peak into the Tutorials and Guides section of the forums and they are sure to have everything you need to set up a server.

I would say that would work fine cuz thats about what dil's runs on but thats dedicated so if thats not i would say you could run one but it would suck

Oh yeah, I am running a local server on my laptop and it is way below that in the RAM and video card area. Should do great.
