Question about hosting
 

:shock: i have regular 1.23mbps cable internet and a:

I have a 1.4mhz amd athlon processer, 40gig 7200 rpm hard drive, 512 DDR ram,ATI radeon 9500 pro video card with 128mbddr sdram,and Windows ME.






How Many People Could I host?????????????

Well...1.41 mhz isnt fast, but I think you mean GHz

Also, it takes about 30mb of ram per zone, so that 128 will disappear FAST in just 4 zones....

Atleast get 512 ram for server, or even better 1024.... But then again ur the one who wants to host


also u said 128 mb ddr sdram....

well... is it ddr or sdram? 2 completely different things...sort of makes a BIG difference

He said he had 512mb of sytem RAM, and 128MB of Video RAM, not 128MB of system RAM. And i believe he was right in saying DDR SDRAM, DDR ram is just Duel Data Rate SDRAM, is it not?

Correct, though it's become to norm just to say DDR for short :D

EDIT: read it too quick, DDR=double data rate but you had the right idea

More Editing: I've been running it on 256mb of SDRAM, haven't had more then one person logged in at once but it's run OK so far (although I have to remember to check the RAM usage next time I log in)

:shock: back to the question how ppl ppl could it handle? :roll:

Is your cable upload speed capped? I get 1.55Mbps download 144kbps upload for example. That will be the huge factor in how many people you can host.
