<b>CPU: </b>AMD Athlon XP 2100+ (1.73 GHz) Palomino Core
<b>RAM: </b>DDR-DIMM PC2700 512MB DDR
<b>MOBO: </b>Abit KX7-333 Motherboard Socket A (DDR)
<b>H/D: </b>Maxtor IDE ATA-133 60GB 7200RPM

OS: win2k or winxp, tuned to running a ns server

On a 10mbit line

The server and the connection dedicated solely to NS and nothing else.
Maps Hera and Bast will be taken off and maps stripped.

a) How many players could this hold without pings going up too much
b) Could it handle 2 NS servers, of what sizes?

    I run an AMD 1900+, 256MB DDR, and a 8GB slow **** hard disk. I run a 12 player server with one reserved slot at approx 60-70% on ns_hera, bast or nothing. It runs much better on ns_eclipse for example at approx 30-35% CPU. I use roughly 225kbps Up/Down for this server. See if you can scale this to your own server specs, but I don't think you could run more then 16 players without pings starting to rise on the big maps.

    BTW: 10Mbit line doesn't say much, that's probably your NIC speed to your hub/switch. How much bandwidth do you have for your connection? You can go to DSLreports.com and run the speed tests there to find out what your up and downstreams are. It's the upstream you need to be worried about.

    Hmm. Best tip i can give is "trial and error". If you have 10mb line all the way to Internet then your able to burst well over 1Mbps if its not capped/limited by your ISP.. you might be able to host 1 24 player server very easily. But prepare yourself that it will be transferring alot of data within days.

    But i suggest that you do some test, tweak your TCP/IP and server settings to the max. <a href='http://www.speedguide.net' target='_blank'>http://www.speedguide.net</a> . Is excellent website for tweaks.

    Vadakill.. the only reason I said 18-20 is because he said he was going to remove hera and bast and script down the rest ..
