    I Found an old computer from like 5 years ago, so I rebuilt it and am now wondering if it will be able to host a minecraft server.

    Specs:
    Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz, 2 cores
    3 G DDR2 ram
    3.5 Tb
    Gigabit nic

    How many players do you think it will be able to have?

    That seems like the very first Pentium D...the ones that were just two Pentium 4's on one chip..

    You could host with that yeah. My guess would be about 7-10 players max, as the Pentium 4 is fairly weak.

    Although I may be wrong........it could be those Pentium D's that are just rebanded Core 2 Duo's. Please post the model of that CPU, so we can find out.

    That's very similar to my setup, and I can run 8 players comfortably, 10 if I had better internet.

    I can confirm the Pentium D is quite terrible.
    Don't expect to be running too many players on that machine.

    > Gigabit nic
    Irrelevant.
    Your internet upload speed is what matters.

    It's the pentium 820. Also I have about 20 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up.

    About 10-15. Both internet upload speed and CPU are maxed at that player amount.
