    Hello facepunch, i have recently aquired the chance to buy a server.

    It is a Tyan Thunder S2881G2NR, it has dual opteron 275 4gb of ram.

    My question is, excluding ram as i can buy whenever i want, will the processors be good enough to run a stable minecraft server.
    If so, how many players.

    My internet has 50mb down and 30 up, so this is no problem.

    Hope you respond soon as i only have a few hours to claim the offer.

    You should be able to host a server for ~20 guys I think.

    You should get an SSD for it so it will be tons faster. Or a RAMdisk.

    Most of it depends on for how much you will be able to get this server?

    £50, how much would i need to spend to improve it even further, without an ssd

    Edited:

    And also, can i have an esitmate as to how many players i could run using a source server, sich as gmod or css?

    Thanks for the help

    oh hey, then it should be a pretty good one.

    I still think that it should be around 20 persons.

    For 50 quid this is a great deal imo.

    I would get it.

    I think you should be able to host atleast two servers at the same time, one on one cpu, other on the second CPU.
