Multiuser - ballpark figures?

MS Windows 2003 Web Edition Athlon Powerline 2600 from
ServerBeach.com (I 
have three game servers)

Server Beach charges me about $180 per server per month - no
hardware 
firewall server
1gb memory on the machine - but not really a major concern

The latency difference between my Athlon 2200 game server
and the two 2600s 
is noticable under high traffic

TankBall - Shooter
Sherwood Dungeon - MMORPG
MoonBase and Marian's World - Avatar Chatrooms

Simutaneous Users- about 1700 peak per server but average
600-700
100mbit connection

Standard Shockwave Multiuser Server - most messages sent as
system script, 
but minor processing only on the server side - anti hacker
measures only.

Clients send messages every 700-900 ms
Close to 1800-2000gb of bandwith per month

Hope that helps.
