    Outpost-Host might be implying that BSD would work better than the others on lower-spec'd systems, not necessarily that it would be worse on higher-spec'd systems.

    I found this on FixedOrbit: http://www.fixedorbit.com/AS/12/AS12260.htm

    I don't see why they have the Cogent and Internap logos on their site.

    I worked on a project that involved mixing and streaming a while back. You could use Virtual Audio Cables (I don't remember the URL at the moment) instead of actually installing a sound card.

    Opinion, not legal/tax advice: Two things: Minors file their taxes separately from their parents (if this weren't true, parents would have to file their children's part time job earnings) and the IRS...

    A Barton is a core that was used for Athlon XPs. I would consider it (assuming reasonably similar speeds) on par with P4s and better than Celerons.

    Given the traffic you want to handle, you...

    1) I'm not sure about the legal status of your TOS because you are a minor. If you try to use your status to your advantage, he might try to wiggle out of your TOS. That's my lay, non-legal...

    The AMD 3700 has a 120GB hard drive. The 3800 has a 80GB hard drive.

    SATA doesn't increase drive performance. You're always going to be limited by the physical characteristics of the platters.

    Unless you use a light-weight HTTP daemon (instead of Apache) and not use PHP, it will be hard to get as many clients as you want onto it. Even then, I would have my doubts.

    Having hundreds of concurrent users is going to require more than a Sempron.

    The AMD system will perform better than the Intel system.

    I would be considering dual processor/core, though.

    Sure, you can send me a PM or an email (via the forum).
  13. How are you connecting to the database? If...

    How are you connecting to the database? If you're connecting to a hard-coded IP address (instead of a hostname or a loopback), that might be your problem.

    If you're connecting via a...

    I would stay away from "playing" with Linux on production servers.

    You should keep your game servers on their own hardware, separate from your web hosting, for example.
  15. SATA drives aren't inherently faster than...

    SATA drives aren't inherently faster than IDE/PATA. In the end, you're still limited by the disk media. Most drive makers use the same (or a similar one) disk assembly between SATA and PATA drives....
  16. Unmetered connections are generally overrated in...

    Unmetered connections are generally overrated in my opinion.

    As for specs, I would use one of the lighter (non-Apache) HTTP daemons, add quite a bit of RAM, and use RAID 1+0 (if this is your only...

    It really depends on how much traffic you have.

    At some point, you're going to need more servers with faster connections or more servers with distributed connections.

    Are you streaming the files with a proprietary server (Windows Media Services) or are you just downloading them off of an HTTP server?
  19. If it's truly mission critical, you should have...

    If it's truly mission critical, you should have multiple servers. RAID is not the end-all-be-all of redundancy.
  20. I would consider a setup with 2 DB servers...

    I would consider a setup with 2 DB servers (opteron based, clustered / redundant in some fashion, depending on your DB), 2 Front-end load-balancers (these could be hardware-based or...

    If it's static content, I would consider using tHTTPd instead of Apache.

    Some extra RAM would help too.

    Every provider is "shared" to an extent. Are you sure you actually need 100mbps of bandwidth?

    I've never had a problem with GoDaddy; although I've lost touch with their marketing department. They've given me a refund on failed transfers anytime I asked.

    I don't believe Netfire is worth the extra money. But that's just my opinion.

    Steadfast has a good network. However, pings/game quality are dependent on several factors: network providers / network utilization / server management / player location and ISP.
