I own a vintage PC equipped with a Pentium D and 3GB of DDR2 memory, paired with an older ATI 4850 graphics card. If the specifications don’t match what you expect, this setup is likely improvised. Can it handle a server running 24/7 for up to ten users? I believe the most intensive game I’d like to play is ARK: Survival Evolved.

I'm not familiar with ARK, but I successfully ran my old Pentium 4 playing Minecraft and accessing source servers before. It worked perfectly.

I'm the only member of my gaming group with an extra PC, so I'll be responsible for setting up a server if we're planning an ARK or modded Minecraft faction showdown.
