1. No such thing as a 4.2GHz Machine, you have took the speed of the CPU and as it has 2, multiplied them, this means it is probably running the Athlon 64 X2 4200 which runs at 2.2GHz per core.
2. You mention a line speed of 2 4 or 8, this I would suspect is the Download and not the upload. Nobody cares how fast you can download your porn, what they want to know is how much upload you have NOW, not what you can get at some point later.
3. Remote Control - The person who wants his server to be hosted by you will want to know that he can jump on anytime, make changes etc, do you have a way for this to happen and if as I would suspect its a Home Broadband line, doing this will Lag the server silly.
4. Lastly, why not grab the files yourself and set up a server?

Because he is too lazy and propably want some1 to make server ready and then take his files and say bye bye
i just used ulol i think you should read again....
what hes trying to say is;
willing to host only JOB or 3.38 specs are 4.22ghz 2gbram upgradable to four. 8mbline

ROFL
but just 1 thing, if he did overclock his computer, it might be 4.4Ghz (even though I highly doubt it)

He states nothing but some numbers, what did I mis-read?? What is required from a Host is the Upload and as he has posted no Proof if anything, he could be on Dial up for all I know..
I suggest he posts which ISP/COuntry he is in, what his Download and Upload is and also Proof as per any Hosting threads..
If he can overclock an Athlon x 2 4200 to 4.2 Ghz he is a living in an icebox and is called Dr.Freeze
Simple Marketing Speak, easier to sell a machine billed as 4.2GHz then saying its 2.2Ghz x 2 as most punters go for the fast numbers on the adverts.Question though, is this a SPARE machine or your only one?? If its not Spare and dedicated to run Mir3, then forget it - simple as that.

well he could live in Alaska :PIf he can overclock an Athlon x 2 4200 to 4.2 Ghz he is a living in an icebox and is called Dr.Freeze
but I wasn't talking about dual core, I was talking about regular 1 core processor. with water cooling system/nitrogen its very possible (I heard that there is some guy in japan with 7Ghz quad core lol)
And btw, I find it very stupid that peoples are going to big shops in order to save some money ect but when they buy something big like computer they don't really check... so dumb...
I hate to dissapoint you Demonic, but what your saying. Yes is correct but is also incorrrect.
Intel when they first released the dual core processor and not the core 2 duo, they where runing at specs of 4.4 and 6.8. Yes with the server files this wouldnt matter ne way cause they are only single core files so would only run at half that which would make it 2.2 and 3.4.
This was the same for AMD as well, as they where doing dual core at 8800+.
You also have to remember about the quad core as well, or maybe even the 8 core processor, though its not likely he will have ne of these seeing as they are very very pricey.
But as for the line connection, he's on a 8mb bt yahoo line which has an upload of upto 768kbs and knowing bt like most other ISP its not a full 8mb line but an upto 8mb.
Now what he also has to remember is also how many other people in his area are on the same line as him as this will cause the rate to differ from what it really is.
What would be nice is to see a line speed test so we can get a rough idea of what it speeds you really would get.

I am still sticking with the Athlon x2 4200
What the important fact anybody who wanted to know is going to use his servers are:
What the important fact anybody who wanted to know is going to use his servers are:
- What is the Spec of the PC
- He has answered this to a degree and we also agree it can handle Mir3 Server.
- Is this machine for the sole use of running the server or is this the only machine he owns.
- We have not found this out as he wont post any more info.
- What is his Upload Speed
- You have said Dr3AmScAp3 that its 768Kbits, is this a guess on your part?
- Is the IP a Static one, BT are bad for very Dynamic IP's
- If the IP Changes all the time, going to have fun running a server on that line.
- How will the Owner of the files be able to remote control and make changes?
- Maybe they send him files and he apply them?
Nope not a guess, i used to work for BT. The max upload on anything under 10mb was 768kbits, on the 16mb it was between 512 and 1mb but this also depended on what time you was on and also how many others where on the same pipe.I am still sticking with the Athlon x2 4200

Maybe the Original Owner who made TWO posts on the subject and ignored the Sticky for this very purpose who somehow evaded the Mods (slackers) would like to come back online and make some comments or this thread should be deleted tbh..

Also you've goto take into consideration BT's fair usage policy as well, wether your on a capped line or unlimited. There is still a fair usage policy in place with regards to this and at any time BT can put this into action, if they belive that the line is being used for anything else other than that of home usage.

I am sure you meant 256KB Upload as this page Shows:
http://www.cable.co.uk/providers/bt-broadband.html
http://www.cable.co.uk/providers/bt-broadband.html
It not bt total broadband, its bt yahoo. Which was the old package and those that had it still kept there rates, unless they have changed it all since i was there.
But there was also at one point ether a 30gb or 40gb per month cap, cant remember which one it was.
Oh and the information on there is out of date as well anyway.

just to the knowledge, there will be no 8 cores processors, the next generation after 4 will be 16 :>
and the quad cores are not that expensive btw, they cost like xeon computers I think, dunno if it worth the price though.
Actually there all ready is 8core processors which have been created
http://www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/3563781
And the quad core chip, for a decent one runs at about £500. So you telling me thats cheap.
You really dont know much do you Data. Uk adsl lines go upto 16mb which have the caperbility to upload at upto 1mbits and then you have the adsl2 which is 24mb down and can ether be 1.4mbits or 3.4mbits upload speeds.
You never heard of bulldog who use looping on adsl1 and adsl2 lines, which give these speeds.
You will find that its dsl lines that dont offer these upload speeds and not adsl.

LLU and cable (cable != adsl) lines can go higher yes, however a standard BT-Provided (ie provided via a non LLU exchange) 8mb adsl, has 488kbps upload. (excluding businesses which can get 832kbps)
we are talking about adsl not adsl2.
adsl IS dsl...

You will see that they will jump from 4-16, no point to go to 8.
And btw, £500 is not that huge price, its about the same price or even less then xeon processor. Cheap and expensive is related to what you want, if you need now that amount of power its not very expensive.
