[Help] Dedicated Servers.

[EmuX]

I am looking to get a new dedicated server, but I wanna know what the difference is from just building a really good PC then buying something like a Dell server or IBM server. Would it make a difference? And what is a good spec for a computer that holds around 1000 people.

core2 anything, 4gb ram.. That's about all you'd NEED to ensure a server that can handle tonnes of users.

The most important part is and always will be bandwidth.

Ascent uses about .5kb/s per user, and up to 5kb/s per user if there's lots in the same area. Small servers don't need to worry about this, but with 1000 people, you're going to need substantial bandwidth. Far beyond what most people have in their homes.
