I have a pentium 166/64MB SDRAM/28.8 modem w/v.90 and i don't lag at all
I just upgraded from 16MB of RAM. Before i did i would always lag in 3 vs 3 games and 2 vs 2 DM's
It has made a HUGE difference

200 Mhz Amd k6 32 meg ram connect at 28k. I generally dont like to play with pop higher than 100-125. 3vs3 100 pop runs just fine on my machine. I also never host a game. I let someone with a better connection and cpu host it.

I run on a P133 w/32MB ram, and 28.8 modem. I can play 3v3 pop 100 on gigantic map just fine, even when I host. Now playing against the computer......that's another story! slows down even with one comp.

I have a pentium 200 MMX, 64 Mg Sdram and a cable modem connection. I NEVER lag!! Sometimes I see other ppl with cable modem at a latency lower than 80!! I saw somebody 1 time at 60!!
Another time, I played with 5 other cable ppl at 2.0 speed and there was 0 lag... That was incredible.

I have a Pentium 200 MMX with 32 Megs of Ram. I am upgrading to 64 or 128 so that I can play higher pop. limits more smoothly. I have T1/LAN connection so I don't ever have lag (unless everyone else at UVA is online at the same time). I often play scenarios with gigantic maps, 7 comps with 200-300 guys apiece vs. me with around 500 guys and don't have too much slowdown, especially after I kill 600-700 of them and lose a couple hundred of my own.
