howichrgelazer 69 Posted June 25, 2012 You don't need an SSD for an arma server. The biggest resource for the server is CPU. I'd imagine that setup could run 50 players, looks like somebody else did here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=732I can't guarantee the performance though, never used that processor. So I'd double check with a few others to be safe.Side question, what speed is the network the box will be on: 10, 100, or 1000? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vipeax 318 Posted June 25, 2012 You can run 3 50 slots on that and still have a bit of resources to spare. HD is close to irrelevant. I wouldn't do 4 as that means 1 server per physical core. You could even bump the player count a bit higher most likely, trial and error on how far you can go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattiaspetersen@yahoo.dk 1 Posted June 25, 2012 Thx for the info Vipeax. Ive been on quite alot of laggy servers so didnt wanna skimp out on performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
urbanfox 116 Posted June 25, 2012 That's a quad core Sandy Bridge CPU there. Should be completely fine, extremely powerful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattiaspetersen@yahoo.dk 1 Posted June 25, 2012 would a dedicated 2.4GHz Quad Xeon® CPU with 4 gb ram be able to run 1 or 2 servers or would the ghz be to low and start problems?Side question' date=' what speed is the network the box will be on: 10, 100, or 1000?[/quote']Its 100.

At 2.4 GHz is could be an old Prestonia Xeon or even a brand new Sandy Bridge-E Xeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattiaspetersen@yahoo.dk 1 Posted June 25, 2012 i found it. its a Quad Core Intel® Xeon® X3220 4x 2.4Ghz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
urbanfox 116 Posted June 25, 2012 Ahhh, a Kentsfield.That's based on the Intel Core architecture.Basically, consider it an Intel Core 2 Quad (like a QX6600).Now, based off what I have read on this forum, it should have NO problem hosting a server. In fact, my guess is it could do two, but thee might be pushing it. Best of luck sir! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
