Hello,

I got this desktop at home and I was wondering if it's actually capable of hosting a polished, released game.

Specs:
Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 build 2600
AMD Duron Processor 1,31 GHz
320 MB RAM.

Mainly it's your internet connection. I remember back in the day just upgrading from dial up to DSL made my Proelium servers lag a lot less.

ram also mattes.But that seems enough to host a byond server but it also depends on the amount of details the graphics and the Games file takes up.

A BYOND game consistently chewing up 320MB of RAM is doing some truly atrocious memory management.

How far back in the day was this? This could explain my fond Proelium memories.

On a hosting related note, I'm working on a multiplayer game that uses pixel movement. It's for the 64Digits RPG contest, and I need a host to test the game before the contest ends, as well as at the end of the contest. So, when I get to the testing phase, it would probably be a good test to see how capable your server would be. That being said, it still needs time before the testing phase is ready.
