5..?
You need a lot more CPU.
About 1.4 GHz to hold a small sized server.
Plus the ram should be around 800 at LEAST.

This is just for a minimum sized server though.

My server with 300 players online only uses 200MB of ram, So Ram isn't a big issue but the CPU for sure is.

You really should get more RAM though, 384MB RAM is nothing.

No. He needs more CPU, not RAM.

384 MB can hold enough players, as Mr187 said.

It's defintly CPU, not ram. Ram doesnt play a big part in this.

Deppends on a LOT of things:

* How fast is your internet connection.
* What kind of script are you using, does it include MySQL, etc.
* Are you running other processes on that server?
etc. etc.

The gamemode is playing the bigest part, because if you have a bare script (plane) you could even reach about 500 players with that i think.
But on the other hand if you have a really bad scripted gamemode, you cannot take more then 5.

Yeah well, if he's running an internet browser, SA:MP, etc. WHILE hosting a server, 348MB RAM will short out in no time.

Why on earth would he be running an internet browser and SA-MP on a server machine? Due to the fact that the original poster has listed their RAM specification as burstable, i'm assuming this is a VPS - not his primary computer.

384MB is fine for one large-ish server depending how you script it, as others have said. The bandwidth allowance is a little low, but hopefully your provider will let you upgrade if you need to upgrade the bandwidth.
