I want to host 100 to 200 people, on a home server.
I have 1gbps bandwidth, can go to 5gbps but I think it is not worth it, correct me if I am wrong. I can give an ethernet connection to the server.
I am looking at an i7 12700f, that I already have, however I prefer buying another CPU, so I don't have to use another rig for something else.
I am considering 32gb ram, I will be using Ubuntu server,but I am not sure to go for ddr3, or drr4 and what cpu.
Budget is 250 pounds maximum, lower is better , I am okay to pay for software.
I have no brand preferences, it is a preloaded world with a maximum size of 3k by 3k. I will be doing heavy optimisation using hi performance forks and limiting entities other than players and such.
What specs should I go? What cpu and such?
