Hi guys, old troll, first post. I got my hands on some hardware through work and been wanting to host a server so seems like a perfect oppertunity to get started. I hope this post isn't supposed to be in the support form
Which is most important when it comes to server hardware, CPU or RAM?
What will put the most amount of strain on the server, EQEmu itself or the database?
I've been thinking of hosting the EQEmu server on a Dell Poweredge 860 (Dual core, 1,86 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Raid 1) and running the database on a old HP workstation (pretty weak dual core, 4 GB RAM, Raid 1). Would this setup be to prefer instead of just putting it all on the same dellserver?
Might invest in abit more RAM to the poweredge in the future.
Anyone noticed any differences in performance when it comes to OS?
Anyone tried running EQEmu on Windows Server 2008?
Still haven't decided what OS to use.
Server setup.
Threaded Mode
