Hello,

I would like to know how mmuch gb ram i need for 40slots no lag

It depends on what you are planning to run, you may literally start a 40 slots server even on 512MB RAM, but if you plan it to have 3 000 vehicles spawned and a MySQL running, that won't make up with 40/40 players on.

Depends on your os as well, Linux is generally better since you can chose a distribution with lower ram usage than windows, (50-100MB) The server itself uses the same (50-100MB) 40-100 slots full server default freeroam configured. As crismar also said, it will mostly depend on what you want to use the server for, what gamemodes you plan to run etc. Haven't actually seen any big difference in ram usage regarding player slots unless you use unrealistic high player slots limits such as 4096.

I got big scripts in the server , sort of RPG but it isnt rlly an RPG server.(sort of real life survive if u know what i mean)

40 slots were the minimum slots of the servers thats why i ask for 40 slots

server gonna run on linux then and there will be alot of vehicles around map and an MYSQL will be running

Greetings

For the MTA server only I would recommend 128-256MB RAM, MySQL won't use much on Linux, the distribution itself can be as efficient as 50-100MB RAM so in total, find a computer which has 512MB RAM or 1GB and install a small Linux Distribution like crunchbang which is based on Debian but will only use 100MB RAM for the system. The swap file will handle overflows on the ram without having to worry about lag in there either, Linux are pretty good at this generally.

So 2GB Ram wwould be enough?

[Mr_Moose]

Definitely, if not it's easy to upgrade but the risk of overflows there is minimal. Good luck.
