    spec is

    duron 1800
    256mb ram

    ?

    I personally wouldnt suggest it, but it may work out for you. I would at least add more ram to it.

    I would go with at least a P4 2.4

    Possible with a lot of tweaking. The 256MB of ram will attempt to kill you, then the duron will finish the job.

    You may squeek by, i'd look for a better CPU/ram combo and ditch the idea of upgrading ram.

    What kind of game are you running? I am running several DF2 dedicated servers on dual 800MHz PIII'swith 512MB of ram with no problem...

    It depends a lot on the game but, unless the game is Quake 1, you'll need the 512 of RAM (possibly more for the newest games). Durons don't multi-task very well, so 2 full 10-player servers should hold, but 4 games with 5 each will not. Map changes are especially hard on single-proc systems.

    The P4 2.4 (the lowest with HyperThreading) is a good suggestion.
    Game Servers are the next hot market!
    Slim margins, heavy support, fickle customers, and moronic suppliers!

    In comparison with the Duron, the Dual P3s would perform much better.
