Not without work porting it to OpenGL ES (and depending on its support for SDL/zlib/etc), but it should theoretically just run on very low settings with those specifications. And no, I'm not porting to OpenGL ES because I don't own anything that uses it.

The Server renders graphics and plays sounds?
Now punish me for my lack of knowledge ;)

Oh, a server.. *facepalm* This is what I get for answering questions after a 12 hour coding stint. Yes, a server would run just fine.

As pings of bots reveal I think they are controlled by the players.

How is anyone supposed to give a definitive answer to that? You'll just have to try, I guess. But in general, Cube (2) servers need very little resources, so you shouldn't run into limits too easily.

I'm pretty sure the server only keeps track of all the players' states (whether they are alive, editing, dead, etc.), their privilege, whether or not they are firing, and bots.
EDIT: Maybe not bots.

If I'm not mistaken (since I know way more about sauer) is that all the server does is keep track of the players, no stats, no bot AI: just a list of players. Oh, and some server information like current map, uptime, etc.

Depends on what kind of network interface that thing has. But if you're hosting it at home, your internet connection will most likely be the limiting factor (unless you have a symmetrical fiber connection :P)
