Hey, I have a dedicated srcds server I just got from a surplus store for about $230 and installed Slackware Linux and srcds (among other things). It is a HP LC2000r, and runs great with any program I have put on so far. It has dual PIII 733 and 512 of ECC PC133 RAM. Now the server runs fine with most of my friends who live close by (30 or so ping), but anyone out of California gets ping over 100. Now, this is probably because of my connection, but my question is: Would a semi-old machine like the one I am running srcds on cause any extra lag?
