1) You need to upgrade your ram, MIN of 8GB for around 500 people. But thats not your problem because you can just use MSSQL 2005 express, its small and doesnt use much ram.
2) You need to upgrade "3 Up Mbps" - because this will not be able to handle more than 20-30 people without lag, 3MB UP so roughly (300kb ÷ number of players ÷ distance ÷ your firewall ÷ their firewall) = you will have insane amount of lag!
3) Consider getting a 50 dollars - 100 dollars dedicated server!
4) Its extremely risky to host a silkroad server on your home machine, because there is a lot of DDOS attacks going around... and someone like me or big ddosers can burn your modem/router + internet connection and your Hosting company will charge you/your parents a lot of money for the insane amount of extra bandwidth. So its safer for you to get a host!
Lets say you pay for 25MB internet, you probably get a 1-10TB of bandwidth, so yeah... You don't want to get ddosed :P with that much internet.
Good luck to you...
