Hardware is great but the thing that will hurt you is your connection.

Do you know what your rate/speed is for uplaod and download?

Download Speed: 2280 kbps (285 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 904 kbps (113 KB/sec transfer rate)

How many players should I be able to support?

Also how to I edit my server so I can have over 5 players

Based on those numbers it looks like a MAX of about 10 players not counting any packed overhead. To be safe i would'nt have any more the 10 zone servers running.

Upstream is whats gonna give you lag on a cable modem connection. FYI.
