Hey, thanks for the reply. That was really helpful.

So you say around a 10Mb upstream can handle a 200 slot server correct? Regarding the laptop you mentioned. I do own a laptop, but I don't think the CPU spec is the greatest thing. Its just been sitting here for the past 2 years.

Dell Inspirion 1300
CPU: Pentium M 1.73Ghz - 2MB Cache
RAM: 2GB DDR2 533Mhz
HDD: 80GB IDE 5,400rpm
GPU: Intel 945.

Is the CPU good enough to run a 200 slot server? I doubt it, but worth a try.
