Neglecting bandwidth, I'm gonna have to say about 150 100 tick rate slots. Not bad. One thing I recommend would be getting a 10,000 RPM hard drive. It just makes loading go faster and its not that much more compared to 1700.

[twisternhra]

Okay. Thanks also do you think that that will be worth the money? or do you think it would be better to get this barebone http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101142 and have 2 separate servers.

you got the wrong ram in your wishlist, the mobo only takes FB memory NOT unbuffered. also if you plan on colo'ing the second one you better make sure about the power requirements as it will cost you extra per month to power that sucker.

[Spartanfrog]

I vote for the second because its cheaper. Definitly worth your money.

[twisternhra]

and i could have 2 servers hosted some where for the price of one. but then they will both be quad cores with 2 gb ram and maybe a 250 gb 10k rpm HD.. heres the question again . How many slots could this handle.

[Spartanfrog]

Sorry for not answering , the second one could hold about the same as the first but you gotta cool the soncd one more and it takes up more power. But as fqdn said, your first mobo supprts fb memory not unbuffered.

[Drocona]

The first one will hold 50 slots per core
The second one will hold 60 slots per core

both calculated on 100 tickrate basis.

They might be able to spurt out some more (as I've compared them to a Core2Duo E6600 2,4GHz, which runs 1066MHz instead of 1333MHz, so these should get a little more, but how much I don't know)

[Spartanfrog]

But wait Drocona, the Core2Duo E6600 is 2.4 ghz. Each core on this processor is only 2.00. So like wouldnt each core get around 40 slots? And like you said then spurt out a bit more?

[Drocona]

My Core2Duo E6600 (yes 2,4GHz) got to 120, so 60 slots per core.

[Spartanfrog]

You told me 100 b4 .

[Drocona]

It's estimates, you never know the exact amount, I know mine ran 100 but the CPU wasn't maxed out yet

[twisternhra]

OKay well thank you every one for your replies Now i just need to get a little more money

Have fun
