Im useing the computer for hosting a server on a game call "Mu Online" its a MMORP/ROLE playing game 3-D. Im just woundering which of these computer would b better?(the hard driver should b more then it says). If u kno a good gaming computers pls leave me a link =) thank in advance
 
uh....if you want to run a good server the second will do fine....I can run a networked server on an old p3 laptop with 128 kb of ram perfectly...so i am sure you can run a server well on the cheaper system :)
 
ehh but u guys r pros in computering, i just got into it about 6 months and trying to learn, but yah...budget isnt a problem for meh ^_^ but anywayz iam thinking abuot getting the second one. and add more MB to it.

I hope you mean MB, even my old 286 has 1 MB of memory :)
@DarkAzn - where are those computers from? You should seriously consider building it yourself. That second system could use a better graphics card as well as another 512 MB of RAM (for a decent server at least, I don't know anything about that game you're gonna be hosting or how many people).
 
If the server is run dedicated then there usually isnt much of a stress on the system :)
 
Wouldn't dual Intel Xeon processors (Is that redundant?) with a couple 300 GB HDDs be bettter then using a FX-55 and a Raptor (Which he mentions Raid 0 but he only said 1 HD)?
 
Its 500 processors. The point is that if you start introducing more and more systems (especially potentially overkill systems) the comparison can never end :)
