Hello fellow Techimoians,

Ok, I need your thoughts and opinons. I work for a small ISP. As we were brainstorming on how we can give a boost to our profit margin, my manager came up with the idea of setting up a couple of game servers so that we could drag some gamers off of their ISP and onto ours.
What I need to find out are: "What are the top 3 to 5 online games out on the market right now?" "What online games look like they would stick around for awhile?" "How is online gaming over a v92 dial up connection?"

I admin'd a counter-sever a couple of years ago, but quite a bit has changed now. What I really need to know now is "What would be the, most reasonable, bare minimum requirements that an online gamer would need?" I'm referring to Processor, Video Card, etc... Keep in mind that I will need opinions from people that have used dial-up, DSL, and Wireless.

I'm sure I have forgotten to mention some key things so feel free to ask. You can reach me at wwlarsen76@hotmail.com.

Thanks,
Wells
