Just Wondering For those without T1, T3's. Say you Had a good ADSL or Cable Machine. I'm Talkin 1.2M or > down and say 350K up what would be a resonable number of clients if you set up a Dedicated Server On Windows or Linux. P4 or Athy > 1.2GHZ and 512MB Ram lets say.

Honestly, I'm no expert in hosting servers, but couldn't you just keep adding the max number of clients until it gets laggy? Only a suggestion.

350k up is pretty darn good. I'm not sure what overhead there may be but if u set the sv_rate to a typical # (i see 4000 - 10000 when i happen to see it) then just divide into the upload speed for max possible w/out any overhead. Most cable these days is far less than 350k up. Mine used to be > 1M up but quite awhile ago they dropped it to 150k then to 75k. I'd guess u can host 16 easily and prob more if there's no weak link in the pc. (ram, cpu, etc)

As more and more people are now going to cable and xDSL the strain on there systems become to much and they drop yer download speeds and upload speed to compensate for the load there end untill they get of there asses and upgrade there systems..... i know from personnel experince of thinking yey i got ADSL first had it worked gr8 but now more and more peeps are on it i find it goes slow as #### weekends and week nights not helpfull when i have clan matches for MOHAA on or just wanna chill and play SOFII

well i have cable & my server never shows up, watch some time when u go into MP & ur in the lobby (u know where all the servers are) press find new list or refresh sometime, then press ~ it will show u how many servers are listed & how many arnt because of high ping or what not, thier is ussually like 200+ server that pop up[ but thier quite a few that dont, & lol those ppl dont even know that thier server isnt showing up to other ppl

Cool . Thanks. Didn't know that. I tried what you said and it said 389 Servers not listed due to High Ping (Over 800ms) or Packet loss.
