Server Hosting Specs
Knil:
I got a new PC for Christmas, (yes I know that was a while ago)
I'm wondering what the specs for hosting a 32 player dedicated server are.
Here are my specs:
--- Code: ---Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-b
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory: 16384MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480
--- End code ---
I also have Virtual PC, and was wondering if i could host a dedicated server off my virtual machine.
Here are it's specs:
--- Code: ---Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP3
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
--- End code ---
Thanks

Definitely the first. It has over 4x the power.

I wasn't asking which one would be better, I know the first one kicks the other one's butt.
I'm just hoping the virtual machine one can support 32 players.
Tom:
Why would you need to host a dedicated off a Virtual Machine?
Also it doesn't matter how good your computer is if your internet can't handle the bandwidth. I think Torque uses a whole lot of bandwidth, but you will need a pretty good upload speed to handle 32 players.
