i cant dis agree with you
the most dont even know what server spects they actual need to have a good server
and it depends on the money you can spend on it to get a good server
thats why the most choose a vps , it got higher spects then a dedi , but sometimes is a dual dedi better then a Quad for a vps (it all depends from the vps program and from the users on it )
but the thing i meaned with my post is that he dont need to break down some1 when he dont even know anyhting of it
thats why i posted my server spects :P
and your right to on the sharing , the spects are from my server with a few clients on it so if you split it in to the clients then you see that it goes down a bit
normal to explain the dedi ram , the dedi ram is what you actual have ( my case 8 GB , my users use 256 mb - 1 GB of it , so a max of 7 users @ 1 GB on 1 server)
the swap is just disk space , it doesnt mather if i got 5TB space or 1 TB space , because they never get used (clients get 25GB - 100GB space , max that is used it 700GB @ 100GB per client )
but the things that do mather is the cpu speed , if you got a single core or a dual or a quad
depending on what cpu the clients use does it mather if you got certain spects for it
then to answer to network speed , 100mbs/s is just 10MB download peak that you can get
unlike other persones that thinks that they can download a torrent of 4GB in 2 min
and network speed isnt the only factor , even if i got a TB line , then you cant use it at all (is good for vps servers , they got all full speed) but it get limited by your own conection , by the websites that cant handle that speed and so on
thats why 100mb/s is a standart , the most websites use it and higher is just useless because you cant get taht speed (exept like websites as rapidshare that need them to give full download speed)
so basicly , its a lot of work to figure all this things out to get a good computer
