How much ram to allocate on Server

[ZombieWarpig]

Hey everyone,

System specs:

i7 2600k @ 4.2Ghz

24gb 1600Mhz

120 ssd

2tb backup

My question is, do I allocate 20 / 2 leaving 2gb for o.s. or do I go small due to less players?

I haven't had any ram issues but don't want to bog down the server with a wrong config and couldn't find what servers with a lot of ram allocate.

Thanks

Jeeze talk about RAM overkill.

If you have 10 or less players just stick with 2Gb for your server or better yet set -Xmx(Max) to 4 and -Xms(Min) to 1

Well I do build and move massive structures and have seen my server up to 9gb of ram usage. I just didn't know if the server would lag out if I was under that or how the cache works.

What was your XMX and XMS set to?

9Gb sounds like you have stuffed something up.

XMX 20 XMS 2 and with no one logged on my server is just over 4gb usage. I have no errors or lag issues and it has only spiked to 9gb when importing schematics of the large nature.

I was trying to optimize my server.
