E6750 - 2 x 2.66ghz
Q6600 - 4 x 2.4ghz
So how many servers can you run on each? Yes, the quad core should be able to handle more, maybe just slight less per core average - however looking at some reviews, the E6700 seems to almost match the performance of a Q6700.
When you run these servers, are you setting their affinity to a core? Quad core cpu's can have difficulty talking to each pair of cores as it has to go through the front-side bus (which is slower in the Quad cores compared to E6750).
As a rough guide, i've been able to get 12 servers between 10-20 slots 100 tick quite comfortably on a Q6600 (when 75% servers are full).
When srcds has been optimized for multicore, yes, it should be much better for people running dual/quad core but its been in the making for quite some time now. It will be released... eventually.
