nice, that sounds like a fun project! I say go for it, not like the PC's doing much else 🤷

Ryzen 5 1600 is a solid CPU for lightweight servers. Your 8GB of RAM is a tad on the low side – Terraria isn't RAM hungry, but servers always appreciate more. Especially if you plan on running a modded server in the future. Also, make sure your network settings are optimized for hosting game servers. Port forwarding and firewall settings are crucial for a smooth experience. And as always, back up your server often!

lol that's ancient, throw it in a museum. Get a real server, not some dusty ol' gaming rig from the stone age 😂

8GB? sigh I suppose it'll do for Terraria and a small group. But honestly, it's 2023 – why skimp on RAM? You can pick up another 8GB stick for cheap and give yourself some headroom. It's not just the game, but the OS uses RAM too, ya know?

Hey, been trying to figure out the same thing for Minecraft. From what I've read, Terraria is less resource-intensive, so your rig should hold up fine. Just double-check you don't have any background processes eating up RAM. Glhf!

Should work fine, Terraria isn't too hard on resources. Plus, hosting your own server is always more fun, you get to control the mods and stuff. Just keep that PC cool if it's old, don't want it to overheat with long sessions.

Ryzen 5 1600 and 8GB of RAM? Yeah, that should be more than enough for a Terraria server with just 5 peeps. Terraria isn't that demanding, and since it's not a AAA title, you won't have any trouble. Make sure your internet upload speed is decent though, otherwise, you might see some lag spikes when everyone's on.
