Hi guys,
For the past few months-years I have been renting dedicated servers for my personal business.
To start it was good because there was low investment now I want to buy a new dedicated server instead of renting a new one.
I thinking of buying it in the dell website in europe.
The question is, What should I look for in spects to host SRCDS and HLDS servers?
Because up to know, all the info I got when I rented a server, was the number of cores, cpu, ram, clock speed, disk space.
Due to my interest in buying one I have been thinking of "making one" in dell.
With the new OB updates is SRCDS still very ram dependent? a long time ago it normaly used around 700mb of ram on each server.
I want to host decent quality servers but also I want to get the most out of my machine.
Ived been thinking about 4 servers per core of srcds, but I think I should be able to get more in and still maintain fps stability.
What core-ram relation do you think there should be?
1GB per core?
For now this is what I have thought about:
DELL™ PowerEdge™ R410
2x Intel Xeon E5620, 4C, 2.40GHz, 12M Cache, 5.86GT/s, 80W TDP, Turbo, HT, DDR3-1066MHz
8GB of RAM, but here is my question, at the dell site it says:
Standard RDIMM
Standard UDIMM
Low Volt RDIMM
Low Volt UDIMM
Whats the best? they recomend UDIMM Standard
But if I want 16GB of ram the only option is low volt rdimm.
Also I have the chance of adding a network card, do I need it to have it connected to a card? I suppose the server has its own but not really sure..
Thank you with any help-related answers
