do you think that the 'Enthusiast' is a good $2,500 laptop for running a server?

and if i get it, how many people can i get on it?
(with just the neutral and open all gates and j-holes mod)

You know what?
You guys should populate
Yukanojo's Server.
I love it. Start out completely neutral and 5k credits. Also, you can e-mail me and ask to join my clan if you want. I have 2 members already. If I agree with you joining, meet me at manhatten and i will give you 100k credits. So, pay a visit to Yukanojo's server. Also, during the next week(10th to 16th), I will be donating my 7-8mil credits, and equipment to someone on the
[5thW FL:: www.5thss.com
server to some lucky player hanging out manahtten. I wil be around manhatten and only for 5 mins. I have kusari rare guns all the way to nomad guns and level 10 fighter shield. Don't miss out.

Laptops are generally NOT good for running a server. Some reasons: Heat Componenets usually NOT as Robust Not made to Run Continuously CPU's Slower {{if using desktop CPU Heat is even more on an issue}} RAM amount is generally Limited

For about the same coin Vision Micro has some systems that would do much better. With a little poking around should be able to find a server for about same price. A server would usually have single or dual Xenon processors. Though speeds may be lower they are designed specifically for that usage thus performance is higher. Also, if want to use a bot more coin can be equipped w/SCSI.

It is hard to soar with eagles when you fly with turkeys.

That money could get MUCH better specs on a desktop, not have the problems associated, and leave enough change to upgrade your connection speed instead!
