How much memory does FF use?

I have a Linux box that has 1MB up and down with only 300mb of on board memory. How much memory does FF/HL2 server use?

Our FF server ran with 20 people max tonight for a while, here's the max usage we saw and a bit of comparison between them (with current counts):



Btw, ignore the cpu counts, caught it during a cycle...

I doubt the system you mentioned will be capable of running any source game.

Can you be a little more specific why it won't? Help educate us if you know otherwise.

Scuzzy's post showed an ff server with 8 people using around 150,000 k. so depending on the amount of spam and players.1 gig should be minimum but adequate.

He only has 300 MB of on board memory. The game itself takes 150000, what about his operating sytem and everything else? XP can barely run on that amount of memory. His bandwidth will be a bottleneck as well. 1MB up and down isn't that much, especially for Source engine games.. Source games, especially FPS like TF2 and FF, use alot of bandwidth.

One of my 32 player TF2 servers can push close to 1000 GB of traffic a month on its own.
