Yes, I've noticed that the general consensus from these forums is that hardware matters more than it really does. Bandwidth is actually probably more important; I've read someone having 3 dual P4 2.8ghz machines with a gig of ram each for zone servers alone (with other dual CPU machines for world and db) only supporting 40 - 60 people. Fishwolf's CPUs are slower than mine and he only has 256mb more total ram than I do, and I was led to believe I could only support about 20 people; this is obviously hogwash as Fishwolf apparently broke 70 (I assume there was probably a bit of lag by then).
This gives me a bit of confidence.
