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?

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.
