Which is better for hosting a server?
Nexus:
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.
Night Fox:
None of that is important except the internet.
Use whatever has the best internet connection.

How can you say that?
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.

Because it's not?
Unless he means actually hosting the server.
I'm under the impression that he means running the dedicated.bat.

RAM after a certain threshold won't have much effect on your server.
