I have long been thinking about setting up a game server so i can play diffrent games with my friends.. Wel i got DC hub running on my computer now and i want to move that one over to a server and allso add a few 250Gb harddrives to use as a file server.. I will be hosting, War3, Ut2004, Hl2, anything that comes to my mind on my server. Not all at the same time. Well the problem is that all server building articals are from 2 years back and dosent cover the dilema of choseing high end Processors of today.
Well as i see it i got two choises..
One normal AMD XP 2800+ At least or....
One Normal P4 3.0Ghz at least or.... Dual systems
Two AMD MP ???(I dont know.. need help here)
Two P4 Xeon ???( I dont know.. need help here)
The main think im curius about is.. What is the performance diffrece when driving a single processor server compared to a dual processor system? And is it nessesary at my scale?
What do i need to run a Well prepared Game server and a file sharing server for DC HUB with 250+ User right now.. And me and my friends browsing the file folders inside from inside the network and at the same time maybe running a HL2 Server..
Plz give me some tips.. im on a budget of 900dollars for the processor/ram and motherbord... If u guys got any ideas... please pass em by
