Question Is a Dual CPU motherboard necessary for minecraft server?

[aronbchek]

I have an old Xeon x5675 cpu on a LGA 1366 board. I want to run a minecraft server with multiple mods which requires a lot of Ram. Currently with the 24 GB of ram it runs just fine with one person in and allocated 10 GB to the server. But would having a dual cpu motherboard with even more ram make a noticeable difference?

You don't need that much power, you could run a Minecraft server in a Core i5 (2nd gen) .
Depending on the amount of players and mods and renders distance... then you might require more RAM, CPU, & GPU resources.
Everyone that joins your server will need to have the mods installed too.

You should not need more than 1 cpu. I have a friend who runs a minecraft server on a very old core processor (I think 2nd or 3rd Gen i5). I would wire it in using ethernet though.

You arent going to get an MC server to take advantage of the multiple CPUs, so no it would not be any benefit to you.
