I think you´ll need a pretty nasa PC to run a U2 server, especially with 32 people playing. And with 32 people playing, a pretty light speed connection.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

They probably wont take much to run, a 700Mhz will be more than enough I should think. The main thing is going to be bandwidth with 32 players
If you run it as a dedicated server it won't take much CPU, cos its mostly the graphics and sounds that cause the CPU load. Like Mr. Beeblebrox said, probably a P3-700 can easily host a 32 player game. Bandwidth, now that's a different story. I assume U2 will take a bit more bandwidth per player than UT, I guess around 40kb. This means you would need a line that can bear 1.3 Mbit/s synchron.
It was supposed to be Zaphod but I misspelled it the first time I used it and so I spell it this way on all the forums I use now.
Oooops, I always thought you were HTK_Zaphod. HTK is a clan and HTK_Zaphod is posting on a few forums I frequent.
I expect that you wont need a ninja processor, but as always with a game server, RAm and expecialy bandwidth are important. I forsee a drop in the number of privately run and own servers :/ Thats life.
