Your BW amount is just fine for that server but RAM ain´t. This server will need about about 512 of RAM. I would suggest that server have atleast 1GB of total RAM or you might experience strange issues with it.

Im hosting one 20 slot CoD4 public server which requirements are pretty much same as Cod5 server. I have set heapsize as 512 megs exactly and when this server is full, it´s using about 350-400MB of RAM. Your server is 32 slots so it will need more...

Unfortunately almost all game server softwares are leaking memory due to bugs, with lesser RAM, you need to reboot your physical server more often.

The more physical ram the better...ideally i'd go with 1GB at the minimum. The poor HD would be frying with less than that...well it all depends on the game

Having run COD games for a long time I know that you want memory and if you can get more memory then do so. The COD series of games, CODWAW is no exception, use a fair bit of memory when compared to other game servers.

I recommend looking for a good dual core Intel CPU based server with 2GB of memory. Limestone Networks has a great sale on right now for what I just mentioned and we are currently using them for gaming which has worked out really well.

If you are running Windows, I highly suggest you have at least 2GB of RAM as you really won't be able to run much on the machine.
