I don't have anything written on hand per se, but I can point out that several GSP's (most notably probably hd-gaming.com) have given up hosting source due it's insane environment (quite coincidentally, companies that use the linux version on opteron processors ;) ). I'm sure that more to support this argument could be found by browsing the steam forums. Phil

Remember that the OS you're running will have a significant impact on performance, considering you plan to run srcds (linux seems to have a CPU load issue with the current srcds, while windows does not). In addition, remember not to jump on the AMD bandwagon; right now AMD based processors (athlon and opteron) are showing significant memory leaks when it comes to source.
