How good of a computer

[Lethal1nk]

Hi

I am going to make a tekkit server and I am getting this new computer here is the details

2.7 GHz up to 3.1

4GB of RAM

This should belong to the Server OP Swap Shop.

Other than that I dunno, I'm unknowledged when it comes to servers

Depending how big of a server you are going to make 4gb isent very much, if you want to use your computer for anything else.

Also the CPU isent that great, could you post more specs?

I am going to have 3 people on it

My download and upload speed is download 2.43 and upload 0.73 it will be better on my new computer.

Thx

That seems more than sufficient.

The megahertz myth, or less commonly the gigahertz myth, refers to the misconception of only using clock rate (for example measured in megahertz or gigahertz) to compare the performance of different microprocessors. While clock rates are a valid way of comparing the performance of different speeds of the same model and type of processor, other factors such as pipeline depth and instruction sets can greatly affect the performance when considering different processors. For example, one processor may take two clock cycles to add two numbers and another clock cycle to multiply by a third number, whereas another processor may do the same calculation in two clock cycles. Comparisons between different types of processors are difficult because performance varies depending on the type of task. A benchmark is a more thorough way of measuring and comparing computer performance.

The myth started around 1984 when comparing the Apple II with the IBM PC. The argument was that the PC was 5x times faster than the Apple, as its Intel 8088 processor had a clock speed roughly 5x the clock speed of the MOS Technology 6502 used in the Apple. However, what really matters is not how finely divided a machine's instructions are, but how long it takes to complete a given task. Consider the LDA # (Load Accumulator Immediate) instruction. On the 6502, which runs at 1 MHz, that instruction requires 2 clock cycles, or 2μs. Although the 4.77 MHz 8088's clock cycles are shorter, the LDA # needs 25 of them, so it takes 25/(4.77 x 106) = 5.24μs. For that instruction the Intel machine runs 2.62 times slower than the Rockwell.

Ah, the good old megahertz myth.

Well, assuming that his processor is relatively modern and is made by Intel or AMD, he should be fine. (Even if the processor is single-core. Correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I remember, servers aren't multi-threaded. Having a dual core would still be good to offload other processes to, but CPU optimization via setting process CPU affinity is a subject for another thread.)

Seeing as the OP didn't exactly post a wall of specs, we are just doing our best to "guesstimate".

I have a 4-5 year old laptop, (got it secondhand, so not exactly sure), with 4 gigabytes of ram and a Centrino 2 dual core processor clocked at 2.66 Gigahertz that runs a Voltz server and the client reasonably well at the same time, so he should be more than okay just running a Tekkit server.

Thx

Just quickly, is the data speed in kb/s, mb/s or gb/s?

You aren't going to be able to run a public server off of a 2.5/0.75 connection. I have a 18/1.5 connection, and my server begins lagging pretty badly with 5 people on. But the tick rate stays low, so it is entirely that my connection can't handle that many people. Your processor and RAM are more than enough for a public server, but your connection won't be able to keep up.

My computer CPU usuge volts whenever I try to play do I just have a computer that can't handle it. if so how good a computer do I need thx

Do everyone a favor, don't run a server on a laptop, especially a laptop on a 0.75mb/s upload. Get one of the other 3 people to run it.

[Ysharma]

I run a server on my mac with 3 people on it, and it runs fine, no lag none whatsoever. On top of that Im playing on the server host.

Have fun when it overheats and dies. And I bet you're not on a 0.75Mb connection.

It's always recommended to get a dedicated server. There are plenty of options out there and some are a lot cheaper than you think.
