Wim.. Are YOU kidding..? sv_maxrate 10000 is a conservative, but SAFE setting...!
The best setting for this value depends on things like bandwidth available for the server and how many players(slots) your server is expected to host. Also the sv_maxupdaterate interacts with the above value, and should also be calculated according to above parameters.. I can only recommend you (Adam) to go read a guide that Drek wrote on the Steam-forum: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=98416&perpage=15&pagenumber=1 Here he explains some of the math to calculate the values above, from desired numbers of slots and available bandwidth, to get a good lag-free server. I used his approach after having hosted 5 servers with 70 slots total on same box for ½ a year, but with some reoccuring lag-issues. After doing the math, and adjusting the values according to this, lag was gone... With the given hardware-info, you should be able to host a good 24 slot server... If memory was added to 1GB, it should be able to host a 32 slot server or a couple of servers, 16 slot each...
