If this is truly going ahead by all means I will pitch in my old Celeron 466 CPU.

I still CS as [AT]sully. This would be great. :)

I am posting the hardware requirements list, based off of the biggest minimum suggested server specs on the games you most likely want.

hey... my forums are called "kag's neffing palace" hehe... and my UT server is called "kag's fragging palace"

While we're on the subject... on a P3-500 with 512 megs of RAM, how many simultaneous UT users should I be able to handle (if we assume bandwith isn't an issue)?

I'm curious to see how many users my forums (i use invision) would be able to handle too...

I've got an idea: How about when you start this out, you start with one game. Monitor usage of the CPU, HD, RAM, etc. and see what the loads are like with 20 people on it. Then a week later, either add another server or wait till some more parts come in, then you can slowly keep on adding instead of trying to get it to work all at once. Sorry if its been mentioned already but I don't have enough time to read all the posts right now.

thats a great idea, one that I hadn't thought of, I was just going to go diving in and hope I didn't hit an empty pool...

During mid-June till about August or so, I can help out on the servers as a mod/admin/etc. for the games. If you want to contact me, PM me or my e-mail is ankygupta@hotmail.com

So I assume we're going to start with a BF1942 server. I guess I'll have to get into a new game. ;) How soon do you think we'll be ready to get that Tribes 2 server running. :)

Like I said, my services are here for compensation. Let me know what you need.

There's going to be a Tribes 2 server?!?

Otherwise I'll have to learn to play BF1942
