I doubt that somebody would pay for Gb bandwidth when the budget for the hardware is ~1k EUR.
Apart of that Rictec, check the mailing list archive for exact numbers, a few fellow admins shared their configurations and the number of forks for their gameservers (and the hardware usage). It would also help if you could provide information about what kind of game(s) you are planning to host. If memory serves me right, I was running L4D on 256MB of RAM and a Pentium III CPU (1GHz) without problem. Now running L4D2 with two forks on a virtual machine (Xen, Debian 64bit), with 384MB of RAM without swapping at all (CPU is a single core from a Quad Core CPU, but CPU usage is negligible). This virtual machine also hosts ventrilo, teamspeak and apache. Hope that helps!
