Any P4 above 3.0Ghz should do for that.

Well sure, that will do it fine.

However, what would be the point in that for a 18-20 man server? And running that processor at its full capactiy, your internet connection won't be able to handle it.

it means when you put that CPU completely full with servers of 18-20 players you need about 50mbit upload speed if they are all full Smile

Well a really cheap C2D will do that fine, even thats a bit overkill.

That would be 40 slots at 66 tick...hhhmm, I'm not too sure with older chips, like the pentiums.

Wait for someone who knows :p

That seems quite expensive for a P4...

Over here in the UK, you can get a 2.2Ghz C2D for about £50.

ok at my other house my comp specs are
4 GB RAM
Core 2 duo 2.3 GHZ
120 GIG hard drive
8600 GT card

the internet connecti0n there is 10000 DL and about 1000 UP.

i tryed hosting a 16 man server and as soon as i get a player in it my FPS spikes from 500 to 3 ever 7 seconds or so.

this is my server.cfg file...

exec mani_server.cfg

i tryed the server on 66 and 100 tic but it doesn't change anything.
