Setting up a Dedicated Server and I need your input! :-)

Post by **TaDoW** » Sat Mar 12, 2005 12:09 am

Hi everyone, I (obviously) just registered, but already have a pretty good online presence in other areas. Right now I'm looking at setting up a dedicated machine for a Q3A server, but I'd like to track down information from as many people as possible before getting started. Can anyone help me out with the following questions:

>> For All these questions, assume a dual 2 ghz box with 2 gb of ram <<

1.) Can you run game servers for different games (i.e.: Q3A, CS, UT2k3, etc.) on the same machine without a significant performance impact?

2.) How many individual game servers (of quake) can you run on the same box (if that's the only thing running on the box) before it starts to slow the server down?

3.) How many players can a game box handle before it gets bogged down?

4.) What ping time do you consider a "good" ping time?

5.) what are your favorite games to play online?

6.) Anything else you want to share?

Probably be better off asking in the Quake III Arena forum:

Be sure to include your connection info too; bandwidth.
