Hi!
We're arranging a LAN the 23-25 of March.
My question is regarding how many servers the machines can handle as ones. The machines are the following:

* P3 800MHz, 256 Mb RAM, 7200 rpm
* P3 1000MHz, 256 Mb RDRAM
* AMD K7 Classic 950MHz, 768 Mb RAM
* AMD K7 Classic 700MHz, 192 Mb RAM

The 1on1 servers we are going to run will be running with com_hunkmegs set to 32 and the absolute maximum of 1on1 servers we will be running at once will be 32. The max clients on each server will be 5 (2 playing, 3 spectating) Will this be possible due circumstances with the machines. Im not sure about the speed of the other machines than the P3 800 which has a 7200rpm IBM harddrive.

Before the 1on1 competition will be run we will have a qualification round with a max of 16 servers with 8 players each and max 2 spectators (=10 clients). Will our computer handle this?

Then its time for the TDM competition, it will be played with max 8 servers, with 13 clients each (8 playing,2 coaching,2spectating,1 referee). I figure this in the TDM will be no problem, right?

What do you guys suggest as a good hunkmegs setting for the FFA, TDM and maybe also the 1on1. If you have any other suggestions please write them down for me.

It's possible that we can get our hands on a couple of P3 700 aswell, no for sure though
