    Completely depends on the mission, map and amount of AI.

    FYI, ours is a 2Ghz Xeon quad with 4Gb ram and 100mbit connection with Server 2008, handles upto ~20 players in domi before throwing a fit. This game is very intensive, but the latest patch makes a differnece and performs better. You can tweak the configs to improve server performance slightly, reduce outgoing bandwidth etc, gimme a shout if You need a copy of ours

    Until there's a proper dedicated server .exe You can (only if You have the digital download version) run a server with the -server parameter, then edit the server.cfg to say kickduplicate=0; and You can play yourself. I bought the game on sprocket and downloaded it on the server as well

    Obviously we'll monitor the situation and take steps where necessary if things don't improve, seems a bit better this morning :)

    Not that much, its gone from a painful 60-120 seconds per page yesterday evening (I'm in Ireland) to a usable 20 seconds this morning, but its still way too slow. Its gonna turn newcomers away

    This is another great router, better price (also takes dd-wrt firmware): http://www.amazon.com/Nfiniti-Wireless-Essential-Router-WHR-HP-G300N/dp/B002WBV2T8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1277234443&sr=8-1

    Also, when I networked my home, I ran Cat6. I should get a Gigabit router no? That way I can have max transfer speed from pc to pc.

    Cheapest way is to just get a gigabit switch, connect each cat6 in your house into the switch and connect it to the router and that way all wired devices will have gigabit between them, your route to the internet is fine on ethernet as the limit is Your internet connection

    There are gigabit routers but You're looking at $150+ like above: http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-WRT320N-Dual-Band-Wireless-N-Gigabit/dp/B001SEL326/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1277238571&sr=8-2

    Dlink are terrible IMO (I get through hundreds of routers per yr as part of my job) and draft n is not an n spec router, may not be fully compatible your n wireless cards or household devices, mobile phones etc. http://wifinetnews.com/archives/2006/04/editorial_dont_buy_draft_n.html

    Draft n are the routers released before the exact standard of n were decided upon.

    This Linksys N does dd-wrt also: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Linksys-Dual-Band-Wireless-N-connections-Broadband/dp/B001ELWASE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1277229165&sr=8-1

    If You're looking for a good router buy this one, I can highly recommend it: http://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Linksys-WRT54GL-Wireless-G-Broadband-Compatible/dp/B000BTL0OA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1277226465&sr=1-1

    Wherever You buy, be sure get the linux one (WRT54GL as this is the older specs version before Cisco messed with the components), You can then flash it with some custom firmware like dd-wrt or tomato and turn a normal router into a serious expensive piece of kit.

    Lots of guides on dd-wrt if You google:

    So for example

    If I want to call myserver "SpongeBob" I would create a folder in my Arma 2 main directory called @SpongeBob then put the Server.cfg and Arma2.cfg in that folder then so my target line would look like this now

    ]-name=Spongebob -config=spongebob\Server.cfg -cfg=spongebob\Arma2.cfg -profiles=spongebob

    Lol I know im off on something. Thanks again.

    No, should just be a folder called SpongeBob, not @SpongeBob in Your Arma install folder, this contains the configs and the following would be your parameter line:

    "........ -name=spongebob -config=spongebob\server.cfg -cfg=spongebob\Arma2.cfg -profiles=spongebob

    No slowdowns for me, I ran Ubuntu server 8.04 on my home server up until I rebuilt it last week, never slowed down or even rebooted for that matter (ups). I run Ubuntu desktop on my laptop but I do reinstall when a new version appears every 6 months as upgrading to a newer version usually breaks something for me, no slowdowns either.

    I work in IT and Nod32 is what I'm using on 3 pc's here, its so light You never even notice its there, lots lighter on resources than Kaspersky, Avira, Avast or Avg. Avast gets my vote of the free ones but You can feel it churning away at the hard drive on my Mams laptop.

    Norton and McAfee are both worse than any virus, both hogs that slow the shit out of a the pc and aren't anymore effective than the free ones, I actually know people making a living taking them off and giving people their free upgrade :D.

    My laptop runs Ubuntu cos it just works, no virus scans, no malware, no slowdowns, no defragging, no cleaning, I wouldn't dream of putting anything else on a laptop, boots to usable in 35seconds

    I'll have to make sure I turn that Mumble overlay on so I get a better idea of who's talking when :)

    You need to click advanced on the bottom left in settings to enable this overlay option, and be sure to tweak its position, on default some of the names (top 2 or 3) will be obscured by your weapon ammo info, You need to move the slider fully to the right and drop it a little, set it to grow down and grow left.

    Mumble is just miles ahead of the rest
