providing everyone has a good ping; you might get away with it. I always downsize by 2 slots if im unsure on the connection speed. You will get to know how much it can handle after a week or 2 running

thanks for the comments. We have our server up and running with 44 players. If anyone is interested in checking it out it is here 70.84.79.245:27015

I have a dual Xeon 2.8ghz 2gb of ram. I have a DS3 to the internet coming in the next week or two. I am assuming a 30 player server will run ok on that. Any suggestion on any settings that might need to be tweaked?

Someone posted a patch (I cant remember where ) that supposedly fixes the vehicle issue. I haven't tested it though as none of my servers maps have vehicles. The patch is basically a few kb of information text files that point hl2mp to the relevent ai files in the hl2 folder.

I assume this is at some business? can't see anyone paying few thousand for 45mbps.

Anyway, thought i'd list a few server specs i own.
Texas lcoation:
Dual Xeon 3GHz EM64T
1GB of ram soon upgraded to 2 or 3 soon
100mbps dedicated connection, router limits each connection to 200kB/sec so there isn't a hogger.
Run's gentoo linux(not AMD64 Gentoo)

California:
P4 2.8GHz
512MB ram
100mbps burst
runs gentoo as well,

Ordering a few opterons and couple more em64t xeons soon ;>
