Would this be good to host a minecraft server if i upgraded the ram to 8GB?

While the HP Proliant MicroServer is more than adequate for SOHO or servicing relatively static web pages, a dynamic game environment is going to rapidly consume the processing resources. I am not a gamer, but used to be a capacity planner for a wide variety of commercial UNIX systems. My initial reaction is that unless you are dramatically limiting the number of connections to this server, response time is going to drop off quickly. I cannot specifically tell you if the drop off is at 2 or 20 users, but best guess would be at 4-8.

yes. but you need to have a firm grasp of router programing, and server OS operation. This will work best for a small group of friends that want to play locally, no more than ten unless you upgrade the hardware more.

registered RAM is meant for servers. So if you are wanting to use it for a desktop you'll have some issues...

It should you just need to make sure that you motherboard can utilize 8 GB or RAM.

This laptop has right around the minimum required processing power needed for Mine Craft. I would say you can probably use it for games in such however a bit more processing speed may be needed.

did some quick research looks like this would breeze through Minecraft... Minecraft Minimum Requirements: CPU: Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 (K8) 2.6 GHz. RAM: 2GB. GPU (Integrated): Intel HD Graphics or AMD (formerly ATI) Radeon HD Graphics with OpenGL 2.1. GPU (Discrete): Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT or AMD Radeon HD 2400 with OpenGL 3.1. HDD: At least 200MB for Game Core and Other Files. Java 6 Release 45. ASUS X552EA-DH41 specs CPU: AMD A4-5000 APU (quad core w/ built in graphic capability) RAM: 4GB. Graphics Controller Model (integrated) Radeon HD 8330 HDD: 500GB (Minecraft needs 200MB, approx 1/5 of 1GB) Java: unknown base spec, but Java is free to download/update much like Adobe Flash

Minecraft will run just fine. It does not require super powerful computer though

Short answer - Yes it will. However it depends on other specs as well. What processor are you using? Do you have 8 gigs of ram?

I don't play Minecraft. But I would assume you could. Check if the game has minimum spec requirements and check to see if this laptop meets them or exceeds them.I will, however, note that this computer can slow down a bit after heavy use. So you may be able to run Minecraft smoothly at first, but not for a long period of time.

The onboard video will be fine for Minecraft, just make sure you have enough ram to share with it.

I've never run any games on my 2540p, which has an i5-560M, 8GB DRAM, and Intel graphics. However, if I had to guess, I'd say it might run Minecraft but not be a good choice to run it due to the lack of a sophisticated GPU.

If you have it you can use it, but its a server m/b and wants a more expensive server chip and memory. This is designed for high compute use, not video performance, and is not the latest & greatest board on the market either. There are newer, much better (desktop) boards available for the money, with the newer, faster PCI-E specifications, which is needed for the newest video cards. I wouldn't buy one if gaming was the prmary usage. Get a decent m/b, a mid-to-high Intel i5 ot i7 cpu, and then the best viseo card you can afford. You will need 16 Gb of memeory for some games these days, so make sure you start with 8 and have room to expand (4 slots x 4Gb is good enough) if you need it.

It runs Minecraft quite well for my son at full settings. It ran even better with the addition of 4GB of RAM. For me mass Exports in Lightroom of RAW files with parameter changes goes much quicker than with my Lenovo X1 Carbon with i5.

Ok , this PC has 4 ram slots and it comes with x2 8gb ramcards and supports up to 32gb ram , adding extra fans ssd drives , and hard drives should be fine but just miner tunes

Based on it's specs, it should be able to run Minecraft. Functional mods shouldn't present a problem, but don't expect to be able to use the mods that add shaders and make Minecraft look incredible. Even my laptop with a dedicated graphics card has trouble with those.

Can't really answer that since I don't play Minecraft. I play Duke Nukem, Civ V and some others. I don't think you'll have any problems running Minecraft.

It should you need to look up your computer specs and see if it can hold 8 Gigs of Ram.

I used to run minecraft on it, but I had to set the distance to short and the textures to flat instead of fancy. So yeah, but it's not going to be the best experience.
