What would the best CPU for hosting gaming servers be? (Specifically minecraft servers)? It doesn't need to run tons of games and programs. My internet connection is also fine. Also, the cheapest that there is would be awesome!
Thanks!

A server CPU, like a Xeon.

You might want to consider RAM to. I have a 3.1GHz processor but stuffty Internet. Although, I have 16 GB of RAM which allows me to host with three people plus myself on the server.

70 players only cost 1.2 gigs.

Do you have specific (hopefully cheap) model in mind?

I misread as a server with 3+99 players. Which would have been a reference to how he said he could have 3 extra players.

For cheap, use a calculator
