I know what they have online as listed, but I want some real life experience response.

I have:

2.1ghz AMD Tbred B XP
256MB Corsair XMS3200

Cable modem: 2.5mbit down, 256kb up

Those are the basic specs, I just sold 1gb of crucial and bought the corsair since Iwasnt needing a large amount of ram, but now this came up.

Anyway, I appreciate your input.

Umm that computer will be fine, but you MIGHT want more memory
I have a 16 player CS server on a duron 800 w/ 512 of PC100 ram on a T1. Hardly ever do the resources get used up, but its the logging and stats that do.

Each CS player will use about 2.5Kb/s upload. if that helps. a little more with voice comm/custom sprays.

256 K up is a bit lacking
try to get at least 768 K

sorry, that server will host 5 players MAX due to bandwidth limitations.
