What is the max people I can run on this server.

[fikes]

Ok so a few days ago I was looking to start running my own server and was going to use this real pos I had lying around. To my luck the same day I was out skateboarding and found this dell in the trash.

Dell 2400
Intel Celeron 2.6ghz
512mb, which I put another 512 in so there is now a gig
40gig w-d ata h-d
300w psu which I put in since there was only 150w one previously in there.

Its a pretty good find since I wasent sure what was wrong with it until I took it home and well nothing was wrong with it. So I loaded up a copy of windows server 2003 that I had. Suck in the 512 like I said and later on put the 300w psu in there which really does not do much for just running a server but I wanted to be safe. My internet is comcast cable, i think its 8mb up, 735k down or something like that. I have been trying to run a dod:s server and have only had about 5 people in max but I was just wondering what you think It would be able to handle. Its set at 16 right now. I have tweaked the crap of it from a whole bunch of post from other people and it seems to be running a little smoother.

All I can say is run a search of the forum titled "Max players". There is a thread that gives you the calculations for all that.

Oh yeah! Another comcast user! :cool:


You can probably hold around 16 people with comcast if you setup your server as efficent as possible like mine. I can handle over 18 but my computer specs are much higher than yours.

Right. Most residential connections can handle up to 16 players. Why don't you just run your server and find it out.

As a small note, it's 8mbit down and 735up. Not the other way around.

I thought it was 10mbit. I ran several different bandwidth tests...
