Hi,

I know you probably get a million and one of these questions but i need to know. I have a netbook with a 1.67Ghz cpu and 1GB of ram. The internet that i will be running it on is a fiber-optic connection and the download speed is 30gb (i know its upload speed that counts i cant remember it though. im just trying to say its very fast.)  There will only be 4 people on the server at peak, mostly only 3 as its just for me and my friends. 
I was just wondering should i even bother trying, any advice is highly appreciated.

yeah

in theory it would work as there are not many of you

but it would be likely to be a very slow server with the low amount of ram

Upgrading the Ram?

Do you think it would run smoothly with 2GB of ram?
