Because Steam does not give minimum system requirments for ANY of their client counterparts, I wanted to start a thread on server building. I would like if you post, please use proper pc terms. Post your server's specs in this format.
[MotherBoard]
[CPU]
[RAM]
[PSU]
[Any addon card]
Really no need for posting the Video Card.
Now on the the post.
I have a small 6-slot Pentium 4 server running Garry's Mod. Used only for home.
It is ok for being a Pentium 4 Rig, it was my old gaming pc just downgraded the video for power saving.
Intel D845REPI (Discontiuned)
Intel Pentium 4 HyperThreading 3.00Ghz @1.50Ghz
2GB Dell Branded DDR SDRAM @266Mhz
250W 20-Pin BesTec PSU
3Com 10/100Mb PCI Network Card
Running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server
Ths has done a great job for what I needed from it.
Keep in mine the CPU is not under the supported CPUs on intel's site but does run at half speed and is a dual-core. I think it does help even if it is slow. I don't have a big load on the server so I can't tell if this is true.
Because this motherboard does not support the CPU fully, the ram suffers cutting it's speed in half, the RAM runs @333Mhz with a supported CPU.
The slowest system that I got the server to run is the Apple TV 1st Gen (the big white square, not the small black puck)
Custom Made Motherboard
Pentium 4 1.00 Ghz Single-Core Mobile
256Mb DDR SDRAM @333Mhz
There is my research now please help the other server owners or want-to-own by posting your research.
