What is the min requirement for CS server?

[mikysee]

Would something like a K6-2 300 with 64mb ram be enough?

 

[BA]

Depends on the number of players. That would probably be good for 8 or so.

As long as its a dedicated server you barely need anything to host a few people. I did 10 fine on a PII 266 w 128mb ram, till they capped my upload

 

[bemused]

i would say prob not
but thats me

you need a lot of ram to run a steady server
lots of it

 

[Coolone]

good ghandi, get more ram

 

[mikysee]

I like playing with lots of people, so I was gonna make it for 30 people. It is gonna be a dedicated server. I will probably get another 64mb of ram. Will a k6-2 500 be good enough for a 30 people server?

30 players? I don't think so ..

what kind of internet connection does this server have

ours is on an OC3 backbone, only hosts 20 players

 

[mikysee]

Its gonna be on cable.

I don't think you could support 30 players. Depending on the speed of your connection and the specs of that computer, i would shoot for ten, TOPS. Ten stills seems to be an overestimate, since that computer is pretty much ancient by now.

On my cable setup when I run games my cable starts to cry with 6 people including me.

At least buy another 256MB of memory, if not 512MB. 512MB will probably allow you to host 20+ people with the K6-2 500.

30 people? I'd get a PIII or a slower Athlon...

Looks like this isn't gonna happen. My sis got a new comp for christmas so she gave me her old one which is the one we've been talking about. I just wanted to do something with it instead of just letting it sit around. I don't want too spend much $$$ on it, I'd rather spend it on a GF3.

Give me some ideas what I should do with this. Should I just use it to run SETI?
