Hi Browny,

While your 512 connection is okay for gaming and you'll
have a lot of fun with it, as the multiplayer interaction really
makes gaming a lot more fun, you'll have to remember that
your top speed (512) is a lot less than the average (3000).

You'll stay on track and in the game, but others might be
able to literally run circles around you in certain games. ;-)

i think 512 is fine, but if you can afford to upgrade, why not?
