800mhz tbird @ 1000mhz
256RAM
20 ATA 100 HDD
gf2 GTS 64mb
cable internet---1050 down/ 128 up


what should the upgrades be

another stick of 256, and a hell of a lot faster upload speed!

Backing up the previous reply by ROBB23, 256 stick and a huge upload speed. The upload speed is especially in a server, specifically a game server.
Do you have the server running on Linux or Windows? You may be able to get a small amount of speed by using Linux. It uses less resources, is more efficient with CPU cycles and doesn't really crash that much. You should consider migrating although a large majority of servers still run under Windows.

yes, and if you still want to stick with windows, at least use win2k.

the RAM........I'd got for even more than 512 total, go for 768 or a gig+ of ram.......IMHO

And the 128 upload isn't nearly enough...I've got twice that and hosting RS or UO still lags..

 

[R0BB23]

we'd all like to max out the ram on our servers, but were just talking mins

I think the biggest upgrade you could make would deffinently be more RAM, as ROBB has already said. But I think that your lag is more likely caused by your cable connection. That's not a great up speed to be running a server on.

Of course IMO.

Your major problem is your upload speed....if you want anyting more than 4 players you'll have to get that increased. I had 300K and it would lag like crazy up around 8-10 peeps. If you want a nice server you'll need at least over 700K upload.....better yet T1 speeds. The server specs are fine. you could run a server off a 300mhz rig if you wanted to it doesnt take that much processing power just the upload speed is always the weakest link.
