Jayceepic Around 15-20 give or take? Plugins can also take effect.

 

Ok Thanks For Letting Me Know! Some 4 You!

 

Can you post more details about your CPU and maybe Plugins?

 

I have the same kind of server and it has 44 plugins with barely any lag. You can probably do 20. <Removed modified bukkit advertising - Necrodoom>

 

Don't give out dumb answers.
FireBreath14, 44 plugins doing what? Every plugin does it's own task, each may take a lot of a little amount of space.

fussionzz97, 15-20 people is 100% inaccurate. He didn't mention the processor type, it could be a celeron at 3Ghz, in that case forget it. It could be a Xeon at 3GHz, each processor has a different architecture, so they are different, it also depends on memory cache and a lot of features, SSD (if players are widely spread and away from each other, chunks need to load and save, so I/O would need to be great, there is were SSD comes in). Don't make crazy estimations.

It doesn't take much to have a server running with 20 players.

You can make a fairly accurate estimate simply based off network speed.

Saying its 100% inaccurate is 95% inaccurate. :3

You say i gave out dumb answers? Dont mess with me pal

 

If you have something to say, say it. Please dont threat other people for disagreeing with you.

 

I wasnt meaning to threaten him, it just seemed like he was cyberbullying me and I wasn't going to take it. Sorry

 

This page should really be a sticky on this forum:

It's surprisingly accurate, it does however not take CPU power into consideration.

It says you can run 24 players.

It basically calculates based on RAM and Bandwidth consumption of each player, coupled with the servers basic needs.

It does not take OS needs into consideration tho.

 

OFC the cpu model plays an important role... a Xeon or an Athlon(I dont like AMD for servers) AND DECENT COOLING OFC...
