SSD - The Performance Upgrade of the Future
Hi I Need advice pls.. I'm looking for guidance on building a Dedicated "Gaming Server" [OS Linux] For COD5 / Modern Warfare. (not a "gaming rig" which would be 'high-end use') I have done a lot of research, result=confusion ..I'm hoping that u guys & gals here, in the Best Hardware Forum round, can help! <zinco kisses azz> Any advice on "Gaming Server" would greatly be appreciated! (video,networking,sound..can all be on-board) (not important right now -->>HD,SATA,RAM,CASING) Motherboards? CPU? PSU? thx!! zINco
Budget? Number of connections?
thx m8 4 ur quick response! Im starting with Comcast Cable connection at 6mb line with 1mb upload. and an ftp hosting sight in Europe for the dl's Starting with 20 connections and $ .. ummm I'd say $500-$700 .. preferring $500 or less if possible.. zINco
Well, providing the Linux distro you use has the hardware covered, I don't think it's too hard. AMD X4 920 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103472 Gigabyte AM3 785G board http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128397 DDR3 RAM (Start with 4GB and go from there if you need more) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231180 Just some small stable PSU... Great deal on a 400CX atm: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139008
Just head on over to Gigabyte and see if they have any Linux drivers posted for the board. Obviously sound is not very important, and the video is no problem, but you need chipset and network compatibility.
thx Proximon 4 ur advice, I'm reviewing the hardware by names.. all good now zINco
what Bistro do u ppl prefer for a Gaming Server?
