CPU for a Minecraft server.

[Evorss]

Is the Intel Pentium G3258 a reasonable cpu for a Moded minecraft server with about 50~­ish players? If not any suggestions? Thanks you in advance!

no way, you will need at least a 6 core cpu for that (maybe an AMD to make things a little cheaper)

But doesn't minecraft server use only 1 core?

in JDK put this command and you will see a massive server boost in performance -> -server -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacing -XX😛arallelGCThreads=7 -XX:+AggressiveOpts -Xms1G -Xmx8G -jar craftbukkit-1.4.7-R1.0.jar

Ignore the 😛 is an : P in the code
