    So, I bought the steam version of ARMA 2: OA, but I also have the retail version of ARMA 2, and for some reason I can't seem to join any server with ARMA 2. I can launch the game in CO and I have even tried using a launcher, but it still doesn't work. I'm starting to get pretty mad at this, just wanting to get some help on this to get it to work

    No, I don't have physical access to it, it will be living somewhere else, and the internet connection is 100Mpbs download and 100Mpbs upload.

    The ArmA2/ArmA2OA dedicated server uses only 2 cores, but do note it can easily lock 1 core at 100%( usually AI and scripts on 1 core ). You might find running other servers on the machine, a challenge.

    The ArmA2/ArmA2OA dedicated server more prefers more Ghz, than cores as well. So, between that Xeon and AMD cpu, not only which produces the most speed, whichever has the most, and larger L1, L2, and L3 cache. If that AMD cpu doesn't have an L3 cache, than that Xeon will be faster. I'm running a Xeon E3110 (6M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB), and it can and does struggle, from time to time.

    Harddrives are inconsequential, I'm running a Crucial 128GB SSD, it just loads a bit quicker.

    The biggie is which OS to run, Winders or Linux, winders is purely a cruddy server OS. If you do opt to run Winders, at least get a server variant, strip it down to nothing, and run everything with the PowerShell. Linux shines in the server department. I chose Linux here, OpenSUSE 12.1 to be specific.

    As far as connection speeds are concerned, 4Mbps upload can be configured to support 16 players.

    The Arma2/Arma2OA server rarely uses more than 1GB of ram, I have personally seen it hit 1.2GB running Benny's Warfare with alot of AI. So 16GB is overkill there too.

    ...Syn...

    They both seem to have the same cache, which is 8MB each, I'll probably go with Linux then, just what Linux should i go with?

    Hello! I'm looking to build my own server, and I'm wondering if these specs would be good for my ARMA server:

    AMD FX-4100 4 Cores / 4 threads 3.6Ghz / 3.8Ghz Turbo

    Main Hard Drive 500GB Hard Drive

    RAM 16GB RAM

    Operating System Windows 08 R2 Standard

    Network: 100Mbits

    NOTE: I will be running more than one server with this, not just ARMA, but other games aswell
