Hi, I wondered … my experience with PC is normal but with servers, not so much, and I worked with some, and my experience is not enough as I would like … and so let’s start with that ..
- Where is the best site to find information about servers?, something like a magazine
- Now the true questions, hardware-based
2.1 What is the difference between a server and a very powerful PC for gaming in example?
- For current prices, if you are looking for speed and power which is the most recommended?
Thank you very much
2.1 What is the difference between a server and a very powerful PC for gaming in example?
From my experience, the main difference is the graphics portion. Obviously a gaming PC is meant to be used for gaming so a gaming PC would need an exceptional GPU along with a fast CPU and RAM.
Servers can be anything from a small desktop to a whole rack. It really depends on your needs. Usually servers have large amounts of storage with redundancy (i.e. RAID) and can be multipurpose (for example you can have a single server with Apache2 and SAMBA and a whole bunch of other services.)

For a simple home server an Intel i3 is sufficient along with 4GB of RAM but it really depends on what your needs are.
