• Which should I run my server off of?
    2 replies, posted
I'm planning on running a server for me and a few friends so we can play at times. I have two options to run my 10-man server off of: Laptop with 2gb RAM/2.0ghz Single Processor or Desktop with 3gb RAM/3.2ghz Dual Core Processor (Which I will play and host simultaneously on) This is all running on an internet connection with: 16 mb/s Download Rate 2.09 mb/s Upload Rate ----------------------------------------------------------------- So which will be the better choice? Use the laptop and make it a dedicated server or use my desktop as a server but play on it as well. Thanks for the help!
Laptop because it's not really good for a person whos playing while having their server on at the same computer.
It would porobably work fine on either, the desktop is beefy enough to run a single srcds server (which has a minimum memory footprint of about 120mb and could take up to 100% of its core). You might run into problems with the desktop/both if you're doing lots of crazy physics or something, but it shouldn't be that bad.
