Some advice please

Recommended Posts

I was sitting in work the other day when I heard a manager and the IT guy discuss their plans to just dump some of the remaining Dell servers as we've moved to a cloud based system.  Seizing the opportunity I managed to snatch the last one without really thinking it through (free stuff eh).

Its an old Dell Poweredge 1850, bought approximately 7-8 years ago.  Now I've to supply a new IDE hard drive, which I have a few spare, but now that I've got it I'm wondering will it run Arma 3?  I'm looking at a single instance of maybe 20-30 players, a few mods and Patrol ops, possibly the headless client.  Then a small team speak server for the players.

 

Will it work?  If so what needs done to it?  Or is it just a pipe dream?

 

Heck could it run Arma 2 or even DayZ (when the server files are released)?

 

Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I wouldnt set my expectations too high as it being a 5-6years old processor only running 1,8GHz, but since

you have the thing give it a go. My expirence hosting a private server are GHz GHz and GHz are the servers muscles,

but a 30player dayz server - why not if you got the bandtwidth for it.
