I've got a "pitiful" P133/32MB EDO NT 4.0 Server at my house for LAN
gaming.  It works fine when clients connect to it and one of them
hosts the game.  I know that Unreal will work on NT but wondered if
there is an advantage to using my server as a dedicated server instead
of having one of the clients host the game.  Would there be any
performance benefit or would it be better to wait for NT 5.0 and/or
DirectX 6 (which I think will support NT?)?

I don't think Unreal would run on my server in it's current hardware
config, but I was considering upgrading my PC and giving it my
hand-me-down K6/233 and 64MB SDRAM.  I'd really like to get some info
on hosting Unreal games over the 'net once the bugs get worked out in
MultiPlayer.  I'm on a cable modem and am willing to host games now
and then.  Any info/suggestions greatly appreciated!
