I Would Like to Host a UT2004 Server

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum, didn't really know where I should put this.

I will be building a new computer in a few months and I am thinking of what to do with my current computer. Unfortunately I have a Dell but I can get Dell Parts cheap so I can upgrade this and maybe it will be good enough to run a Ut2004 server (for the mod Deathball.) I upgraded my verizon online, the download speed is 3.0mbps and the upload is 384kbps. Well I know this was plenty for Half-Life but I'm not sure about UT2004. I was told that this won't be able to handle more then 4 people, is that true? Sorry, don't know much about upload speeds and servers.

The specs of my dell-
P4 1.7ghz
256mb of ram (yeah I know, I need to upgrade that badly if I want to host)
GeForce 3 Ti 200 (I don't believe video card affects server at all, but I don't know much about servers anyway)


Thanks.
 
Might be able to handle about 6-8 players if you had a powerful machine. With that machine, I would say 4 would be your max. Servers need lots of RAM, fast CPUs, and fast HDs. Hell, it could run on a 2mb voodoo for all it cares. :p
 
What if I was creating a server for 4-5 people on a local lan. Do you think I could get by with a 733mhz Pentium 3 with 1gb of ram on a gigibit network?
