FTB Ultimate - Question on server

[hollywookilla44]

Hey guys/gals, I have a quick question. My server computer blew up (seriously blew the motherboard apart) and now I have to resort to my old laptop. I was just wondering if these specs will be good enough for 1-3 people.

Dell Inspiron B130 - 1.73ghz thinking its single core not to sure. Has 2gb of ram installed.

Let me know what you think.

Given my experience with my Ultimate server, I find it unlikely.

Its weird though, I ran a small tekkit server last year with no problems.

I say go for it! And if they complain tell them to check their internet connection, cables, defrag their hard drive and make sure their drivers are all up to date.

I find that it's less to do with the amount of RAM one has, and more to do with the quality (or lack thereof) of graphics card.

Hmm well shoot.. I think im dead in the water. I'm sure this Inspiron has the best graphics card out there jokingly.

On a server?

On a server?

ah, not for a server

Yea, I am asking for server wise. Again I had a Tekkit server on it with 3 players with no lag. Oh well I gonna try, I believe in miracles.

I't wont hurt to try, what OS do you have on the machine?

 

[hollywookilla44]

The server has windows xp service pack 3. I will let you know how it goes.

You may run into memory issues with Ultimate. You may want to try FTBLight (or whatever the light weight version of the server is). Ultimate on my server sits at roughly 1.5GB after a restart, and hovers around 2.5 most of the time. My concern is XP is going to suck down a large chunk of memory right off the bat. Either way good luck.

 

[hollywookilla44]

Thanks, I will let you know how terrible it will be. Thats right no confidence.

Find a light weight 64 bit OS. MineOS Crux is a good choice, its command line only though, you need to use SSH and FTP to control it.
