why are you asking? do you have actual problems? it seems right so far if you intend to let the server run on the second cpu (it counts from 0).

it should work like this:
taskset -c 1 screen -A -m -d -S css-server ./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 33 -autoupdate -tickrate 66 +fps_max 600 -port 27015 +ip 174.137.53.222
hope it works 4 u.. ;]

taskset before or after the screen won't matter, as the cpu affinity will be inherited to child processes. the only differens will be, that also the screen itself will be bound to the cpu if you write taskset before the screen...

Is it worth setting affinity with quadcore? I have 4 games running on the box. I also get odd returns on which core is being used. For example I bound CSS to run on core 3 and it returns:
affinity mask 8
I bound TF2 to cores 0,1 and it returns
affinity mask 3

it's worth trying everything you can. this stuff is different on all machines.
it's not odd what it returns. the mask is a bitmask, so a mask of 8 (=1000 in binary) means the 4th core (=core 3), and a mask of 3 (=0011) means cores 0 and 1. no magic about this :-)
