Hardware/Bandwith Requirements
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but hopefully it's ok. I'm thinking of trying to setup my own server, and I have 2 questions for anyone out there that has their own server.
1. What kind of hardware requirements am I going to be looking at for a good server? I would be interested in hearing what kinds of boxes that you all have your servers running on... and how many people you feel you can support playing at once... I would also be interested in any data that anyone has on the difference between the windows and the linux server... I'm assumeing the linux one probably requires less of a machine seeing the OS has less overhead...
2. What kind of bandwith does your server suck up? This is a major concern of mine. The hardware isnt that big of a deal... its a onetime expense... I'm curious about how much bandwith some of the servers take up as I am going to have to be paying the bandwith bills out of my pocket. As before, any and all details about this are welcome.
Thanks much
