RAM question

Post by Igloo »

Hello,

I need to know how many RAM will need the server to run in the hardest mode (to Enemy Territory) + etadmin and slots... about 20.

And if someone know. What is the connection needed to run such a server?

Hope you know the answer, I don't... :oops:

Greetings,
Igloo

#1: This thread belongs in server admin forums :x
#2: The minimum I would suggest for 20 players is 512MB, though you might be able to sneak by on 320 if that's all the server does. You'll need a good CPU to keep up with it all, though.
Got any old idtech3 tutorials you made or saved? Send them my way.

from game manual:
To run a Dedicated server, we suggest you have at least:



· Intel® Pentium® IV 1.3ghz processor or equivalent
ET needs about 30 MHz dedicated to the ET process per player slot. Here is a table with suggested server speeds based upon maximum client settings.

o For a 32 player dedicated server, ET will need 1ghz.

o For a 16 player dedicated server, ET will need 500mhz.

o For an 8 player dedicated server, ET will need 250mhz.



· 128 MB RAM
This assumes no other applications are running in the background. If other server applications are running, you should expect to need more system RAM.



· Excellent connection to the Internet or LAN. We strongly recommend T1 connection speed.
Servers on Cable or DSL connections should limit their games to only to 2-4 players (depending on upstream).
