In general you want a decent CPU and enough RAM if you're planning on running a decent sized multiplayer server. Nobody is going to want to play on a server that performs like crap.

Thread ripper with 128 gigs of ram would make for a decent server.

The CPU and Rams depends on minecraft versions.

4 gb ram = I throw Linux on it immediately to make it usable.

In 2016 this statement was true, not now. Double each.

32 GB is overkill in current day for gaming.

16 GB will be enough for any game out there unless we're talking about rare case where you either install 200+ mods or have a game like Factorio and keep exploring the map to increase the file size.

Pretty similar to 32GB actually...

Real talk though, 4GB is still usable of daily basic computer tasks on Windows 10. Its not *great* and it does dog down, but I am typing and posting this from the above x220 which is also running a VPN and other software and has about 10 tabs open in Opera.

20 GB of used RAM on Win10 and this is daily tasks? What on earth are you loading at the same time to get up to that amount?

For me with Youtube running in the background I use up about 9 GB of RAM out of my 32 GB.

Surely your Opera can't be taking 11 GB of RAM?

Twas not exaggeration.

How many tabs do you need, good lord… and of all of the Chromium browsers you could have used, Opera is by far the worst, it’s more spyware than Edge and Chrome.

What if I told you the system has Edge, Chrome, FF, and Opera installed, and each has a large number of tabs and windows, and each is used for a different purpose.

Opera is just the daily driver.

Edit: There is even a super special browser with super special plugins that runs in its own VM, but that's not included above.

Edit edit: But yeh, I have a tab problem. It seems to happen naturally on any system with enough ram to allow it. Its like, if I start getting sluggish with only a few tabs open, I pick up on it and manage my tabs. But if 15 feels like 30 feels like 300, the system becomes the limit and self management of tabs goes out the window. Admitted issue lol.

6k tabs? ... I only have around 5 tabs open and always clear cache. I guess if you leave your web browser running and never close tabs you could easily get to that amount.

Oh god, I remember the free Minecraft server hosting websites that only have 1 GB and 1 or 2 CPU cores. Since they are free, you have to wait on a wait list. People used to always say that I should join their Minecraft server, but I would always decline because they were using the worst free Minecraft hosting providers. Any of the providers have the worst lag imaginable which basically makes it unplayable.

Pretty much this.

4gb ram? I have not have just 4gb ram since like 2002...
and the only reason I had just 4gb than was cause XP 32bit only supported 3.2gb ram max.
once xp64 bit came around (that I used till 2016)
I had considerable more ram.

chad rig honestly. I bet it can run doom easily

[DevaVictrix]

4gb of ram in 2002? I had 256mb on my gaming rig! My hdd was only 15gb! Other than servers I remember most motherboards maxing out at 3gb, for obvious reasons.

Edit: it was 192mb, actually!

If you use a still supported GPU, and enable hardware acceleration, it should take some load off the CPU, But if your GPU is old, mostly really old AMD/ATI cards, even with a driver it falls back to CPU decoding, I've had luck with an old Nvidia 8400gt on a Q6600 system in my garage with Windows 11 out of all things, I use it for youtube and it will do 4k just fine, but the old HD5450 I had in it first wouldn't use hardware rendering and I couldn't even do 1080 60fps smoothly.

my computer doesn't have GPU, my computer is related to trash expect it work.
oh yes... I might try doing that...
