Other people who have hosted Quake have say'd EMU is a lot worse on the BD. With a cable connection an AMD 2.4GH with a gig of ram i was able to host 12-15 people. Unless i logged on from the host computer, the second i did that me and 2-3 others could be on but the second we tried to fight we LD'd. Loging on from the host computer is NOT recomended.
