My server has pings of <1 second between machines.
My server is a Pentium 3 500Mhz with 384Mb of SDRAM

I hope you meant 512kbps instead of Megabytes per Second, I'd kill for that 
bandwidth.

I don't use a front end, just a batch file I wrote to keep the server going 
if it totally crashes.
I can look up the settings to get a little better performance, but I wont be 
home most of today.

Cheers,
L2D
