| Which is better for hosting a server? |

So I have two computers to choose from if I want to host a server. Older Computer - desktop - 4 cores (I think blockland can only use one) - 2.51 Ghz (used to be 2.6~2.7) - 6 GB RAM - 512 MB Graphics - Vista (Buggy and inconsistent) New Computer - laptop - 4 cores - 1.7 Ghz - 8 GB RAM - 1 GB Graphics - Windows 7 (epicsauce) Which is more important? RAM or processor speed? Is the better processor speed worth having less ram and graphics? My old computer has a history of random freezes, but they arent very common, and has a bit stronger internet connection. |

None of that is important except the internet. Use whatever has the best internet connection. |

Graphics cards are irrelevant for hosting a server, as are cores. The things you're interested in are RAM and CPU. Both look fine, I'd go for the desktop. |
