How many player

[Marianowo]

Thanks Onepamopa.
Now I have my server with windows 2k3 srv because i'm running another gamse server in same PC.
when I need more processing power or RAM will put a dedicated server for L2J. Meanwhile I can use this to start.
In a dedicated server would certainly L2J linux distribution (Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu Server)
But I will not buy a dedicated server until I have done all the tests done and know well that I should buy.

So, my limitation is given in the hardware, not software. Right?

Thank you

Here's one hell of a linux setup guide made by CyberFox

I think evilus is used to other standards of performance\stability

) I know

I ment because he's using a different source

ohh rly?

I found some info of geodata, and since we are talking about % of CPU and Bandwidth, why should I use geodata?
Tnx

for a better gaming experince to the players

unless you prefer attacking through walls,doors etc

It's not only about the geodata, or the ram installed.
The important things are: CPU (2/4 cores), HDDs' - 10k / 15k raid? and min 8 gb if u want ~ 700 users with geodata.
I'm telling 8 gb ram, cause I guess the SQL server will be @ the same machine too, and if the operating system is WINDOWS - it will consume more memory cause of the GUI, linux will consume less memory (cause it can be used via console and dont require GUI). That's in short.....
That is based on my observations.

Forgot to mention - using 64 bit processors and 64 bit operating system = consume more memory (not MUCH), but the preformance is better than using the server @ 32 bit.

For those that are SERIOUS about their servers - use linux boys and girls. If u dont know how, I'll write u a guide.

I would take my chances with opensolaris and zfs...Maybe that would give you a boost on your max users
