The dedicated server will run on a 133MHz PC running Win95. I tried it!


Are you serious? lol.

Here are the official requirements:

B. System Requirements
Halo Dedicated Server requires a personal computer with the following minimum requirements:

Multimedia personal computer with a 733 MHz or higher processor.
Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000 Service Pack 1, or Windows XP.
128 Megabytes (MB) of RAM.
380 MB of available hard disk space.
Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device.
Broadband internet connection.
These differ from the retail version of Halo for the PC by not requiring:

8X CD-ROM drive.
32 MB 3D hardware-transform-and-lighting-capable video display.
Sound card and speakers or headphones.
DirectX 9.0b.
To run an optimal Halo Dedicated Server, a personal computer with the following requirements is recommended:

Personal computer with a 1.4 GHz or higher processor.
Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server (with all service packs installed)
256 Megabytes (MB) of RAM or more.
380 MB of available hard disk space.
Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device.
When running multiple instances on a server, these requirements have to be adjusted to account for the additional resources required


The most critical thing you need is upload bandwidth. A regular cable connection will let you host 4-6 other players before the lag gets unbearable. You need a T1 or better to host a full 16 players. Next most important is processor then comes memory.

Knowing you Matt, we'd never play anything but snipers...

Snipers Race, Snipers Oddball, Snipers CTF, Snipers Slayer, Snipers King of the Hill, Snipers Snipers, Snipers Mario Kart, Snipers Curling, Snipers Free-style Hedge T-blam!-, and my personal favorite, Snipers Whale Calling.

The word 'Snipers' is beginning to look a little bit funny to me...


EDIT: Apparently the word 't-r-i-m-m-i-n-g' offends the server...interesting

You do not need T1 to have 16 players if it is a dedicated server. If you just pop in Halo and start a server instantly, than yes, you do.
