Ok, I am starting a new business with a partner. It will be a gaming server company...hosting games such half life, rtcw, doom3, etc etc. Now my question is how many game servers can i run off of a server with the folllowing specs:

Pentium IV 3.06 GHZ w/HT
1GB Ram
2 x 80 GB Hard Drive
1000GB Transfer
100Mbps port
w/cPanel/Red Hat 9
I will be getting this for about $155 a month

Which i would be getting from http://tomsyer.net unless someone can direct me to a better price or more geared to what i am trying to do...it would be nice to speak to a live person.

Ok, so i would probably go with a dual xeon 3.06 with 1gb of ram..how many servers should i get off of something like that. It will also be running ventrilo which is a voice communications program.
