Well, lets make some educated attempts here..
1 OC3 - You have all the bandwidth you'll probably need.
2 P900 - Little low end on the processor scale if you ask me, but probably sufficient to handle a decent number of concurrent zones
3 512 meg ram - Once again, a fair amount of ram, but this will get gobbled up when you start to run 20-30 zones populated with people running around in them.
My guess would be that with that box, you can run a fairly large world. As the code gets more optimized , who knows. Now, if we keep the linux version up too snuff, you could probably host off a much bigger world off of it. Linux's memory management and access to virtual memory are much more efficient. Plus. it runs in much less resources (Windoze just eats sooo much memory running its own system processes).
There's my educated 'guess'. As no one is running a big, dedicated eq world right now (everything is a testbed pretty much), I dont think you will get an answer until someone actually does it, gets alot of concurrent accesses, and posts their findings.
- The next release is expected to be available when they post it too sourceforge.
