Server Requirements (Laggggg)

[bananon]

I recently started running a server with unlimited building points but people complain about the Lag, I used to think it was connection related but now i've come to the conclusion it's due to server load cuz even on lan with i get 999 ping every when everybody online gets it too.

I'm running the tjw server on a headless Pentium 3 1000 Mhz Linux box with 128 megs of Ram, it's a really crappy computer but its the only thing i had spare to run dedicated, anyways cpu use is most of the time around 80%-95% when the there's ppl playing in it, but it only gets laggy when ppl construct a lot (FPS remains high)... my question is will adding more ram fix it or do i definetly need a new server?? and if ram's enough how much would i need? (the server's only for 6 persons)

You think your server is crappy? Try running one on a Pentium 133MHz with 256MB RAM(though the RAM is bottlenecked at the processor anyway).
