My newest server is a AMD Phenom X4 overclocked, 8gig of RAM, etc on a 100mb down/10mb up connection and not even a single hiccup has been had and I've done some pretty crazy stress testing. I've AOE'd down entire zones. I've done raid testing with 30+ bots while I was also botting 6-7 real characters plus 2-3 other players 3-boxing.
Make sure you setup your database correctly to handle a ton of concurrent connections. Make sure your router/pc can handle so many concurrent connections. What connection speed are you running?

The problem right now is the server is set up on another rig that I have limited remote control over. Disconnects are killing the server right now and I can't even restart that PC. I could use mine but had the same problems yet I have the fastest comcast (non fiber optic) you can get which I believe is 2-3 up 1-2 mb down. I should be able to handle this server a lot better than this. None of it makes sense.
Chrssb, can you explain some things I may have missed using this guide
here to set up my server?

I followed that guide completely. Am I missing something somewhere where I don't have some concurrent connections set up properly or what?
