    We are planning a 10 slot Server for a small clan. Mostly Coop (Acre and Ace) and TFor. We where planing a Athlon 64 3Ghz System with Virtual Box but reading the last posts I'm getting a little scared.

    Any hints?

    That's exactly what I want, or atleast close enough (double the slots). I really doubt that it will need that much power (what the guys are saying) for 10-20 slots.

    I intend to host it on a 1gb ram and one i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz core.

    With Linux, I'll add, you want 2 or more cores, and at least 1.5GB of ram. Once you see that 1 thread lock up 1 core at 100%, thats just AI, for some of the more heavy to heavily scripted missions( Warfare, or crazy scripted COOP's ). You'll then see why I recommend 2 Cores, at the least. If you do go with older technology, you'll want it faster than 3Ghz. Otherwise any 2 core or more cpu, at 3Ghz or as close as you can get it to that speed.

    ...Syn...

    Are you seriously saying that Linux eats more resources than Windows? You misunderstood me, I don't want to play crazy scripted coops or warfare, just clan missions/tvt (up to 20 slots). Are you seriously saying that I need a dual core and 2gigs of ram just for that tiny cr*p ?

    Building/buying a new server as cheap as possible will only give you a system "almost good enough", mainly a low-end server which you'll regret while playing. An alternative is to pay ebay a visit, there is loads of second hand servers on sale, and I mean real servers. Search HP or Dell servers, those beast are built to last. You'll get a complete system fully capable running OA server for 150$, with Xeon CPUs, SCSI/SAS drives and loads of fans (with equal noise)...

    Overlord, I just don't have the budget for that. Besides the initial 150$, it costs the dedicated network line (over here, Romania, it's around ~15$/month for 100mbit lin

    Guys, Overlord,VisceralSyn does any one of you guys really have a server? Or speaking just from fairytales?
