What are you asking for?
How much KB, MB a shoutbox takes?

Can you post a link to your forum or provide the average and peak number of users online?
I'm pretty sure that DVZ Shoutbox is the most optimal AJAX-based shoutbox for MyBB. A rough estimate of:
  • 10 users online
  • during 1 hour
  • update interval of 5 seconds (default)
  • new message every 10 seconds
gives ~1.2 MB, which is about the same as two index page visits in terms of bandwidth used.
