Here's the scoop straight from the source:
To get an idea of how good the Walker Wars server is, check out the specs on the Walker Wars web site !

I can't wait to play on it!

Does the type of video card on the server make much game play difference to everyone else? Seems like it would only benefit someone sitting at the server and playing..;)

I know I'd be addicted if I started, so I gotta just say no!

actually, thanks to MicroSoft, MechWarrior 4 wouldn't even run on a Windows OS without having a 3D video card. They say there is a server version coming out soon, but that doesn't help us at the moment. And just so you know... the server is at my ISP so no one will be playing from it.
