Server specs
 

I`m thinking about creating a server and was wondering about what specs i will need. At the min i have a spare box running server 2003 its a dual xeon 2Ghz, 512 rdram, scsi ultra 160 15000rpm 18GB HD and 60GB eide drive and can be conected to the net with ether 1,2 or 10 Meg connection. 1 meg at home or 2 and 10 at work.

What sort of service would this be able to run..?

Thanks

at least 1gig ram if want to have decent setup. Minilogin you are fine though.

thanks
 

thanks was looking at upgrading the ram to 1 GB, what about HD size, how much does it take up.?

All in total including my everquest play directory, eqemu, mysql, perl, and all other various tools and editing utils along with many databases and eqemu directories I have just under 10 gigs.

I do run a custom setup but 10 gigs is a safe ballpark I would think if you plan on doing any custom work and want utils etc...


More specific itemized layout that you might use:

eqemu directory: (with source) 1.04 gig, (without) 1.03 gig

Perl and cpan: 60mb

mysql with one database: 350mb (typical databases I would guess are around 60 to 150mb I would recommend having enough room for a backup just in case)

Everquest directory 3.5 gig

These are all estimates so your mileage may vary and I may have missed something.

edit: I run with 1.5 gig ram and suffer no lag. so yea 1 gig should do fine.
