Is an i5 6500 enough for a server?
I want to host a home server and possibly a Minecraft server. I have an Optiplex with a Pentium G4400 and an i5 6500 lying around. Can I install the 6500 in the Optiplex 5040 SFF, or does it need a BIOS update first? Is that even sufficient for a CasaOS server and possibly a Fabric Minecraft server?
Should work without problems.
Wouldn’t be my first choice for a server now, but you can also make the experience yourself. For a small home server, the pentium would also be enough.
Depends on what the “Homeserver” should do and how many players depend on your Minecraft server.
the i5 6500 has 3,2Ghz and 4 cores and since MC takes a core for the respective worlds(Overworld, Nether, End) there should be enough space for the OS
