Phate Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I would like to hear some recommendations on how much ddr3 ram I should need for a DIY tower that will run a 24/7 MC server for my school friends(and hg), run one source game, hldj, Teamspeak, and web browsers. All at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I HAVE 8 GB OF DDR3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa John Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 64 GB DDR3, go big or go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAnomaly101 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 8 gig should be sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Tin Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I think 8 is a bit high personally, I would think 6 would be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal45 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I would go 8. You can get 2 sticks of 4gb DDR3 1600 for pretty cheap nowadays. Sometimes Newegg has some good deals on em. Just make sure you have a 64 bit OS for the computer otherwise it won't recognize more than 3gb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I don't think RAM would be your issue necessarily. Whether you'd have enough upload throughput to do it is another question. I'd say based on your requirements (which are pretty lean actually), 8 GB would be good. You could probably get away with four but performance may suffer.

Skanky Tank Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 thank you, my motherboard will support up to 32 gigs of ddr3 But of course I cant afford that [ATTACH=CONFIG]4612[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]4613[/ATTACH] Those are my parts, I am getting a good deal for windows 7 any comments? For the love of god, don't get a sandybridge intel. $200? I am planning on getting a AMD, just because not every computer brand uses it, doesn't mean it's bad. This has better with 3.4 GHz, and for $70 less, it is worth it and it's a quad core. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727 That's also a expensive ass mobo. Try this combo pack. It's what I plan on getting. It includes the same CPU, and a compatible mobo. If you do this instead of what you have now, you'll probably save like $80 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.661996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like I said before, make sure your Windows 7 is the 64 bit version and not 32 bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike is Fr3sh Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 sucks for me is that i can only go 6 or 12 gb. stupid triple channel mobo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma# Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 sucks for me is that i can only go 6 or 12 gb. stupid triple channel mobo. Oh man.. who said you couldn't do two sticks or single channel?... If you choose to go with 3 RAM sticks, it does get optimised whereas two or one doesn't... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaayer Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 http://canihostaminecraftserver.com/ 8GB should be fine, the upload speed is going to be your main factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
