Game Server Specs?

[Brandino]

I hope to set up a game server for Half-Life: Counterstrike in the coming months, and I wanted to build a new machine soley for that purpose. I know I wont need a permanent monitor on it, nor a soundcard, or really good videocard for that matter. So my question is, if I'm going to have this thing running off DSL, what kind of a system do I need to successfully run a 16 player server with decent pings for most everyone?

Basically the question here is processor and ram.. I assume win2000 is the best route for os.

Thanks in advance

Hi Brandino, take a look at this page, great resource: Server.counter-strike.net
I had a CS server on a P2 300 with 196 mb ram on a 2mbit/512kbit ADSL connection. It ran beutiful no problems at all, we played 6on6 clanwars on that server and no problem.

One of my friends is running a server on a K6-2 300 mhz with 128 mb ram and actually that is enough. You don't need so much CPU power just need a lot of bandwidth.
