I dont think all athlon cpu are 939 pin, i think some are 756 (i think).
the latest are 939 which are more in line with pci-express mobo's .which i found out when i had to upgrade..

i might be wrong, but dont all AMD athlons share the 939 Socket? If so, you could just upg that and you'll have a nice server in no time.

Thanks for the answers guys!

Seems like my processors i a little bit to old, would be nice if I could get up a 32 player server. Will see how good processor I can upgrade to and some prices on them.

And the connection is 100Mbit upload so thats grat for a server I supose .

Personally, I wouldn't try to host a BF2 server with anything lower than 2.5ghz/768meg RAM.

If you do make a server with that, try 20 people, that gig of memory 'll do great. Also, think about donating it to the FS forum clan I'm going to be an admin on that one, so I can have fun bullying people around and if they give lip KICK/BAN! woohoo!

the CPU may be a little too old for it... dont think it even reaches BF specs.

It's pretty easy, you can't be behind a fire wall, so if you have a home network, your server PC has to come BEFORE the router. Also, you CAN'T turn off your PC once you have started the Dedicated Windows Server software that comes with the release, or else you'll have some very angry Star Wars fans. Other than that, it's just a matter of keeping it on all the time and having the correct software running.

A friend of mine and myself are soon going to get some new computers and we are talking about if we could use mine old PC for a server. Problem is I don´t know much about servers, all I have checked is minimum requirements (384MB RAM, 1 Ghz for 16 players).

If we start one it will be on a 100Mbit line and my old computer is an AMD Athlon 1800 1,5 Ghz, and we will put in so it will have 1024MB RAM.

Question is, is it really hard to run a server or is it something thats pretty easy to learn and how big server do you guys think I can use with my old PC ?.
