I have 4 servers on one box right now, P4 3.0GHz with 2GB of memory.
The box is sitting on an OC48 fiber backbone though a 100mbit connection
(bandwidth is not a problem).
I have a busy HLDM:S server, a fairly busy HLDM (HL1) server, a not very
busy HL2DM server and a totally full TF2 server (24 players). I also
had one
HLTV and two SRCTV servers enabled.
A little while ago, the cpu maxed out at 100/100 (HT is on), about 50
players total were on across all the servers.
I killed off all the HLTV and SRCTV servers and the cpu immediately
dropped
down to about 75/75.
The TF2 server stats is reporting 93% cpu with 24 players on, although
that
varies with map and round time.
Basically the TF2 engine can max out a single 3.0GHz P4 machine,
especially
with SRCTV enabled.
At one point last night on TF2 I had 50 spectators on the SRCTV server
and
24 players on. I didn't want to kill the SRCTV but it was just too
much for
a single core.
Now if Valve could make the SRCTV thread use one core and the Game Server
thread use a different core, that would be a very good thing (and not
really
multithreaded is it?).
Even maxed out, the TF2 and other Source servers were running quite
will but
the HL1 server was having problems.

What's your CPU usage at with just two servers running?

If my cpu usage gets anything above 70 tickrates instantly plummet to
the teens, tf2 does seem to run better but still not as good as hl2
based games when they were initially released, seems like srcds has been
wanting more and more and is always sacrificing consistent tick for it
