If your upstream bandwidth is truely 4 mbps, which you can verfiy at http://www.dslreports.com
Then you can host more than what your machine can handle I am sure.
Take this example. 12 players running in AOW with a few flamers will require about 450 to 550 kb upload. When you are taking tcp/ip and the overhead needed I would say you could run 40 to 50 players comfortably on the bandwidth.
Here is where you will run into lag issues. Processor power. If you were going to run 40 to 50 players lag free then you would need a box with apporx the following specs.
SCSI drives 10,000 rpm
dual 1.2 gig P4 processors
1 gig ddr ram
400 mHZ FSB

By the way, you can only use one CPU per server so you are at no advantage having two CPU's in your systeam unless you want to run two servers off the same machine, then you can setup a slave server.

I am running two FDS with Dual processors, each FDS is on its own 2500 kbs down and 1100 kbs upstream connection. I have noticed a slight difference with dual processors in game play. Where the advantage really came in was running BR, remote control software, Teamspeak or RogerWilco servers, and still allowing for the box to be used as a production application server.
I have also tested the FDS on IDE drives and SCSI drives, the SCSI beats IDE hands down for disk writes. The more users you put on, the faster you can get your disk writes the better. Creating a large swap space has 0 benifit if the disk writes are slow to the virtual space.

I found this site, it tests for you, i don't know how acurate it is...
I got 1148 kbps/438 kbps is that bad, or good?
