Spec Check - How many slots
#1
Hey all, sorry for the basic question but . . .

I'm looking at purchasing a box to run a TF2 dedicated server (aiming for around 16 slots).

Bandwidth is not an issue.

PC I'm looking at at the moment is running the following:

Pentium-M 1.73Ghz , Intel 945GM Express Chipset
1GB ram
40GB HDD

Probably run it on a stripped XP install

What are my chances?

That's not going to work, you need at least something like a P4 3.0GHz I think.
Also that's not a PC but a laptop?

Yeah - It was a mini-pc.

Since I'm looking at running this 24×7 in my residence, I was trying for a low-power / low noise solution (and cheap at that).

I'll look for other options.

Thanks.

Ok - how much ghz am I going to need? I can source Intel Core 2 duo at:
1.83ghz
2.0ghz
2.33ghz

Big price jump to the end there, so can I get away with the lower hz?

Yeah you should be able to run a 16 slot server on every core (so that's 2 servers) if you have 2gb memory with it.
But it will hold 1 Smile
