Specs to run a server and client on 1 PC at same time

[Egomaniac]

What are the specs needed to both run a server and play on it at the same time? Apologies if this is discussed in another thread.

Not really possible as you would get too much lag with only 1 pc

SQL & Serverfiles are memory hungry programs aswell as CPU b4 you then run client on the ssame machine

Entirely impossible with most people's budget.

You need at least 3 PCs to run Ei competently :P

I still remember Crowsworld running it on 1 PC with 100 people online at once.

You do need some sort of multi cpu (hyperthreading) and tweak the priority right for the apps. (high for mostly everything and low for eiserver)

Lol, you didn't say that you played Crowsworld on that same PC ;p

my bad.. yes everything on 1 pc... with at least 50+ online for sure.. cpu I think it's intel 2.something GHz... well I don't remember.. ask crow.

There is actually a way to do it, come to think of it, but the speed would be just plain nasty.

lol i ran all mine with a few ppl on, i was host we were messing about only got small lag providing i was in game, if i downsized the client the server would crash. The lag would last for no more than 1 sec and would happen every 2-3 minutes lol (was only a few days back see lol)

The specs i have are;

Windows XP Professional (all updates V2002)
Service Pack 1
AMD Anthlon(tm) XP2000+
1.67 GHz
512 DDR RAM
GForce 4 GFX
32-bit Sound Blaster

I think thats all u need... but as the others say its better to have more than 1 pc

thats roughly what i had cept my cpu is only 993 mhz XD

was laggy as hell, however, i do have another pc on the network i dont use. if someone knows how i can use that for server and client on this one id be greatfull if youd pm me.

Defreagged HD, custom build believe it or not is so much better. Few users on otherwise a duel opteron with 4gig of mem lol. There r some kool, duel core cpus coming out soon though, will b quite kool.

lmfao, i remember crowsworld aswell

i hacked it.. LOL

Posting just cus I’m gutted >< .. was gonna get duel 2800 MP and had to spend over half of my cash after HDD problem…

But…with mire3.. your gonna need duel Processor… unlike mir 2… mir 3 kills my 1.8Gz will just running sever (700+mb 333mz)… I think mir 3 runs to many processes (not the correct term ..) to run a sever and client properly, its probably gonna be cheaper to buy two computers lol

But.. you could try duel chips+… even a althon dual upgrade about 320 pound (board+2 chips).. Pentium ><!!!

Basically needed

MP chips or Intell eq. 2800 (2GZ) X2 (for duel processing)
Mem: 800 mb (sever side) + 128 or 256 (xP) client side
Best to to have: 10,000 RPM+ hd ( for V-mem and/or search file)

Can’t explain better (hardware novice)
