Good Server?

I am going to get a new computer soon for my own use but want to run it as a server for awhile.
I want to know what would make a good computer. Like ram, how fast?
I been planning on getting a computer that is, 1.5 gb ram, 3.0 Gzh, Geforce card ..
But what has me bugged is that people are talking about Windows server 03' for their server and I am wondering if you NEED windows server program in order to run a server.
Becuase I am going to get XP for it anyway, but just want to know what I need and what are my picks to speeds and if it is good enough.
Thanks for reading.

Personally? I don't really think so, especially not if you have an older CPU and not too much RAM. I've been monitoring loads on the dual-Celeron with Windows XP Pro and it's not too bad with four players even when I've been flying through heavily-asteroid-laden systems and two other guys in combat somewhere else.

That having been said I'm going to slide it over to a P3 Tualatin system and it should be able to handle things, no sweat.

But the point is I got it working fine under XP Pro and haven't had any cause for concern on that score.

Although flserver will work with either WinServer2003, WinNT2000 and WinXP, use what you want. I, too, have been using nothing but WinXPPro. Boston has been up for 2 years 4 months and WinXPPro can go for a month without a restart. I usually have to do one though because of some Windows update that comes along and demands a reset.

P3 Tualatin 1.13 GHz, 384 megs RAM, 16 allowed players... surprisingly, not bad. Plan to go to 512 anyway sooner or later.

Wow so 1.5 - 2.0 gb ram would do great then.

Upload speed of the connection is the key.

eg 350 ish up and 1 gig ram and p4 2.4 30 players no trouble.
