Ok, I am quite confused after about 3 hours of using google. So I want to buy a desktop to host bukkit on. As far as I can tell bukkit is multithreaded or what ??? So, do I want to buy the hyperthreading thing ? And do I want quad-core or dual-core ? Will the hyperthreading make the server faster ? Also I'm hoping to be able to have 50+ players on mi server. And the computer will run bukkit and nothing else (which I'm still trying to find out how to do)
So the hyperthreading makes it faster then ? As far as i can tell hyperthreading only works for some programs ? it is good for bukkit then ?
It won't help bukkit, but it will help Java and the garbage cleanup processes. Bukkit/Minecraft is not multi-threaded, but java is. Also, do you have enough bandwidth for 50 players?
bandwidth ? I am buying a tower and hosting it at my home. ok so another question on that, if i get quad-core can i run 3 bukkit servers 1 on each processor and have java and garbage cleanup run on the other processor ?
should run fine that way, i was running 2 servers on a dual core just fine, just get a butt ton of memory (which can be had for $10/gig with DDR3 so 16GB would be $160) EDIT: about your bandwidth, what is the upload speed from your home as most consumer connections are terrible on that end
