64 Players: Actual Requirements

[Helms]

What are the actual requirements to play with 64 players and for it to be smooth. What else I can do besides what I have already?

Here are my specs:
Intel Xeon 3.06 GHz (can upgrade to duel or extreme)
2 Gb Ram (can upgrade to 4gb)
NVidia 6800 GT OC 256Ram (can get 512mb ram ultra)
Verizon Fios Fiber connection 15mb down 2 mb up (can get 30mb down and 5 mb up)
Audio: I noticed in the audio options you can select hardware rendering and x-fi. If this is the case, then all sound overhead will be completely offloaded to the soundblaster x-fi card.

IF you have an X-fi card, then yes use that setting. But if you have an Audigy2, then Hardware - High is good enough.

Remember it isn't just you that has to meet requirments. Its the server as well. Technically 64 players online, is not supposed to happen. 64+ player versions are for LAN only according to EA. Some hosting companies slap a huge server on a mega connection for 64 player servers, and can pull it off, but very few.
