Windows [Hardware and Software] Advices?

[Rabbe]

Alright I'm gonna give you the situation from the beginning, I wanna host an OT server. I wanna have real-tibia map (well atleast as far as it goes), with no lags and perhaps 300 (atleast 200) players available online at the same time (without lag).

This is my current setup:
Intel P4 3.0 ghz HT
1 gig ram
40gb HDD
100/10 internet
Windows XP pro

Which is the best way here to guarantee no lags?

Will something like this work?
Intel P4 3.0GHZ HT (same cpu)
4 gig RAM
160gb HDD (faster one)
100/10 internet
Windows server 2003/windows 98?

Or do you have any other suggestions?
Cause RAM is, what I've heard, the most important thing when you host an OT. So if it's doable with that CPU I might buy the new RAM and host an OT.

Would be nice to have some comments from experienced people!

You must be joking "Windows 98"..
And the computer is fine, just change Windows 98 to Windows XP
:thumbup:

I think you can host real map with this for sure. Because player amount depends only on internet speed, and you got enough RAM for real-map.

 

[Rabbe]

The computer isn't fine with 1 gig ram with that ammount of players, if that's what you mean. I've tried.

The new computer is fine.. <_<

We are talking about 4gb ram, not 1gb ram. 1GB ram will not be enough I think.

 

[Rabbe]

Ok good, that's what I thought

What about the CPU? Are you sure a P4 can handle this kind of player ammount?

 

[Rabbe]

More statements?

Also it would be nice if u posted your type of RAM. And about your CPU, humm... Well 3GH its much I think it will be enough.

Crucial memory - 4 GB ( 4 x 1 GB ) - DIMM 184-pin - DDR SDRAM - 400 MHz - PC3200 - Not ECC - CL3 is the RAM I'm about to buy.

 

[richux]

Duno man, for me your hardware seems outdated. But Im not pro in theese thigns so sry.

 

[Rabbe]

It is kinda outdated, that's why I'm asking if it will still do

My comp is like :
3GB Ram
1.80GHz Intel Core Dual
10/100 mb internet ;P

I can host real maps with around 100 players

A real map these days takes about 2GB ram to host 1,5 - 2gb so the second computer would be fine except that part with windows 98

Windows 98 is lightweight, takes less RAM.
RAM = How big the map can be, etc..
Internet speed = Amount of people
