Server memory question

Category: News ArchiveHits: 930
Which of these scenarios would take more of the memory (RAM) of a server? One 32x32 area with two characters, or two 16x16 areas with one character each? (or are they equal?)
- The server doesn't even need a vid card in fact ;-). That's because the server app doesn't display any graphics, only the player and DM clients do that (except in the case of the single player game where the machine runs a hybrid server/client exe, then you need the vid card). Also, the graphics on the player client will only load and display the graphics of one area at a time because of texture limits.
Basic break down of duties for multi player NWN-
Server- Does all the processing and sends display commands to the player clients.
Player/DM Client- Displays the results sent from the Server and acts as a GUI to send requests for processing to the Server.
Server does all the thinking, Clients do all the showing and asking ;-).
