Server hardware scaling

[Discovery UK]

Well, on a machine of that kind of scale, I wouldn't recommend more than 10 players before it starts to lag badly - you have to remember that its going to be running Windows on that single core too. Especially if you want to run FLHook and DAM. . .

FLServer is a single threaded app, but a multicore system (dual core) is best. One core supports FLServer, and the other supports Windows, FLHook, FLStat and such. Clockspeed is where it all sits once you have a dual core. Theoretically, a 2ghz dual core should run a 70 slot server (ish) although you would require a very good web connection. If you're running from home, I would recommend 16 slots.

I'm currently running UK on an Core 2 Duo E4700 2.6Ghz, but we're very limited on slots due to my bandwidth usage for other services. Anything else you need to know, send me a PM here or at the UK forums.
