I need a little help on some hardware specs

[jawa21]

Those specs are WAY more than you need for an emu server. You'll be able to host a good number of players with no problems, I'd think. I've run a server off of my PC that supported 30 people decently.

I would have to agree with the last post, the specs are over kill for a EqEmu server. Also the thing that is going to make the biggest difference will be internet connection, specifically your upload speed. Even with a 6Mb cable connection if your upload speed is only like 512kps then it will not matter how fast your server is as it will bottleneck on the network if you plan on having many people on it.

you can run an EQEMU server for over 100 people on a 1.8 GH with a gig of ram just fine, its the internet connection and monthly BW that matter.

32Gb of ram!!!!

holy bejeezus. you could probably host every current server via virtualization if you wanted on that rig.. lmao.

hat's off to ya man.

Give it to me, I'll find good use for it

...and that's enough power to run Oblivion twice the normal speed..

Cause the server wants to show off and run 100 zones + 3 instances of the client.
