How much bandwith is necessary to host a 20 player Counter-Strike server?

I'm looking for pings between 50 - 150 assuming every player has DSL or cable.

Will 1.5mb be enough? Can i go less?

Can I use 128mb of RAM, or do I need 256 for seamless play.

I want to eliminate the "jaggy" gameplay that I see sometimes. What can i do to prevent this?

Thanks for the help,

Counter-Strike forever!

You'll want the 256 megs of ram and to host 20 people, you should be fine with 1.5mb upload. Each player uses about 24-48 kilobits so multiply that by 20, 480-960. So if your connection is 1.5mb UPLOAD, thats perfect. Unless, it's like cable (mine's 1500 Download 300 UPLOAD) then you'd need extra speed. But, it seems that you're saying you have 1.5mb upload, so your server will be fine.
