Enough for a CS-S server?

Just wondering? It's a personal connection so isn't in a data centre or anything.

Could I get away with 24 players or would I stick with 8v8?

What do you mean the speeds are odd? It can be higher occasionally (75-80mbps downstream, 50mbs upstream) if that's what you mean.

Your connection speed isn't the only limiting factor for determining how many players you can support, we need system specs too!

Pretty **** poor. I'll be running the server off a spare laptop (C2D 2.93ghz, 8gb DDR2, 8800GTX SLi).

That'll just about handle 24 players, your line speed is fine too, just keep your OS as lean as possible and you should be fine

Cheers mate, thanks a lot.

I doubt there is any need for a 24 player server, but I'm thinking of putting some different game modes like the MG one (eg you don't need to play with other people if there are not any).
