Ok. Should still be a lot of fun though

Anyone have some suggestions about the optimum machine for running a high-bot map?

To me it sounds like your graphics card might be at fault. Your CPU should be able to take the demand of 20 bots + rendering your client. Also you might need a memory upgrade. I am able to run 15v16 (with myself as the 32nd) with about 70-80 fps with a amd 3500, ati x800 and 1gb of ram. With my system I think it is the video card that slows me down because at other servers, I still get about the same fps, with much less CPU load.
Cheers!
