Will Plex server run on Linux with 2cores on 2.4ghz with 4gigs of memory? For like 5devices stream?
You’ll need to be a little bit more specific.
What exact CPU is that? There’s ancient 2-core chips that’ll give you a nightmare and there’s new ones that’ll stream those videos like it’s nothing 
Also… this will very much depend on your use case. If your files are optimized for your use cases or you’re using a capable Plex client platform, there’ll be very little for your server to do. On the other hand… if those 5 streams require your server to adjust the video/audio/subtitles, that’s a very different story.
I’m just curious if it would work Intel core 2duo 2,4ghz 2mb lm2 cache
That leaves us with only a number of Merom, Conroe/Allendale and mobile Penryn chips. Given those were released between 2006 and 2008 my guess is they won’t work well or halfway performant. They’re most certainly too old to support hw-accelerated transcoding.
Some examples I could find:
| CPU | PassMark Score |
|---|---|
| Core 2 Duo E4600 | 784 |
| Core 2 Duo E6600 | 889 |
| Core 2 Duo T7700 | 817 |
| Core 2 Duo E8135 | 973 |
| Core 2 Duo T8300 | 883 |
| Core 2 Duo P8600 | 848 |
| Core 2 Duo SP9400 | 988 |
That means you might be able to stream some files but only as long as you don’t let your PMS do anything beyond that (no other services, no transcoding)!
What does mean Pms?
PMS is the common abbreviation for Plex Media Server
It’s an p8600 so it wouldn’t be able to stream movies?
If I may add ?
The bare minimum to load PMS and DirectPlay movies is 700 Passmarks.
It must also have more than 1GB of RAM to operate effectively.
This CPU will struggle .
If I may be candid? Use a 2008 CPU for a media server? Have you nothing more recent?
Got I all now. Didint understand for while wanted to see what really the minimum.
