I've said this before so some may remember but Blockland is really low on system requirements when it comes to running the server. I ran a Speedkart server with 3-4 people on a system with a Pentium 4 1.6ghz, 240mb of system memory, and I used the OS CentOS. The server ran flawlessly, I would get the "LAG" icon when the round would restart and maps would change (which is mormal IMO) but racing was flawless and didnt lag one bit. So basically, if your specs are better than that you will be fine lol. HOWEVER, upload speed is also a biggy when running a server for any game (I have about 20mbps) |

However, just 4mbps can handle at least 30 players, so I'm sure that if you have less players a lower upload speed wouldn't matter. |

I was looking at your specs, why do you have an APU with a dedicated graphics card? You should get a Phenom II X4 or something. If you want to keep your APU you should get an AMD graphics card so you can crossfire the integrated GPU with the dedicated card however there isn't a wide list of cards that can do hybrid crossfire with it. I would suggest getting the Phenm II X4 or if you want higher than get somethig higher than that. |

so I take it that dedis are really low on requirements, assuming you're only hosting one |
