Other than the issue of getting the feed into Second Life, you can already do that. The NASA CoLab area has a lecture theater, I've attended a couple of multimedia presentations there. These links are a bit old, but they should land you in the vicinity:

Your new machine should be able to do a better job on the graphics. The graphics card, cpu speed and RAM probably have more to do with the graphics quality than the bandwidth.

I think you could buy server space for your own world. They come in different shapes and sizes I believe.
