I ran GuildWars on a 1 mbps connection, it had 4 computers, a P3 450 with 384 SDRAM, Athlon 600 MHZ with 512 SDRAM, P3 733 with 256 SDRAM and an Athlon XP 1700 with a gig of ecc pc2100 ram. Please note that I always was in high CPU use, memory use AND bandwidth use. There was lag unfortunately but I made it as minimal as possible. But this is back in 0.4.4, now we have very impressive compression which kills bandwidth usage and the code has been getting revamped to be more generous on the cpu.
