I was asked by someone to put together a inexpesive Game Server and I'm assuming that a game server is more or less along the lines of a file server...something with lots of RAM and a decent CPU to power it. Any suggestions?

linux or windows? linux, the lowest available duron (1300?) and 256mb will be plenty, windows 512mb i guess. better cpu is always better of course, but since this is supposed to be a inexpensive one...no matrox, no matroxusers. -
If it serves only as a server, the requirements aren't that high.
You can take a look into this PDF here http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/doc...rver-HOWTO.pdf , they describe how to setup a gameserver for quake, halflife or unreal tournament.
[edit]. That's for Linux, but again, if it is only used as a gameserver ........
Have fun

For a game server, in order of importance:
Connection
CPU
RAM
HD
Depending on the game, a CPU ~1GHz should be enough. You should have at least 256MB of RAM. More is better of course. You need a reasonably fast HD for level loads. Otherwise, the HD isn't really a factor.Comment
