building a server.

[NemesiS_1122]

i wanted to build my own server to have a counterstrike source or day of defeat source server, i know that u dont need good sound cards or graphics cards ( if any) because it doesnt need it, but what does it need? and how much to not lag?

Well you'll need a sever motherboard and CPU, obviously. But try to get a LOT of RAM, and a few hard drives. Mainly what you need if a good CPU, possibly two CPUs, and a lot of RAM to experience a no-lag server.

The server we use to host all our Battlefield 2 games has four hard drives, four gigabytes of RAM, and four Pentium 2 slot 1 processors. And we never get lag. So just because it's old doesn't mean it doesn't perform well.

Im glad someone has finally said that. Just because the processor is old, doenst mean its not a good pc.

4gb RAM, thats mad, how much space did you have all together?
