How many Source servers can i run?

[Qrush]

Hello! Planning on setting up some servers for Counter-Strike: Source but im curious on how many i can run on the same computer. The setup is:

CPU: Intel C2D E8400 3.0GHz
Ram: 2x2GB (4GB)
HDD: 320GB 7200RPM (Planning run RAID-0 in the future)
OS: Windows Server 2008
Internet: Fiber 100/100

How many i want to run:
2x20 Slots, will be running SourceMod + DM.
1x16 Slots, will be running SourceMod.
1x12 Slots, will be running zBlock. (Warserver)

I also have one more question, are srcds taking advantage of multi-cores? Or does it just use 1 core? If they only use 1 core my plan is to dedicate 1 core for 2 servers and in the future upgrade to a quad or hexa.

SRCDS do only utilize one core pr. server.

I think you will be able to run it all on that machine tbh.

If you throw 1 x 20 slot and the 16 slot on one of the cores and then other two on the other core. That'll be okay, as long as the server is dedicated. If you want to be sure, you could load them fully up with bots and check the CPU usage and monitor it

Your RAM seems to be alright and internet is not a problem. The HDD is fine.

Ok, as i expected. I will be filling them with bots to monitor CPU-usage, CPU-temp and overall stability. I just need some parts to make it complete. Thank's for the reply!

Bots take a lot more CPU then you think, you can't use bots to replace players.

Yes i know that, but if it can run all servers full of bots i know it will manage to run it with real people.
