Hi, I was debating whether to post this here on on the Minecraft forums, but I thought I would get better tech-breakdowns here. So, i'm hosting a 24/7 Minecraft server for me and 20 or so friends (about 15 on at a time), and I'm building a new computer. Now I am wondering if my personal computer (pic 1) would fair better in hosting the server than the current server (pic 2).
(Note: In pic two, the computer is listed with 1.75 gb of ram. This is wrong, it actually has 3 gb installed and working, the task manager confirms it.)
(Also, my personal computer has Vista currently, but if i were to use it as the server, I would put XP on it instead).
And i'm not going to switch either computers over to Linux or anything else, even though it may work better, because I have tried numerous times to install it, and failed all of them. Also, I prefer XP.
Thanks!
