Broadband Gaming Question

I have a question concerning online gaming and was hoping you guys could help me out. I currently have a broadband connection of 256/64kb and am getting a new computer next week. I've never really been an online gamer, but with the new computer I figure I'll be giving it a shot. My question is for comfortable online gaming will my current connection be enough to support the latest games or will it be necessary to get a faster connection?

Thanks a bunch for any help.

Tbh you need to upgrade that if you wanna play anything with half decent lag. World of warcraft would probably run but stuff like Half-life 2 and Counterstrike would have quite huge lag.

Really all depends on the server you are connecting to for FPS games. If you live in a large city, you will find plenty of servers near you that will have a decent latency.
