Amount of servers I can run on this box.

[JayHax0r]

I plan on putting up a few 32 slot TF2 servers. How many can I run on each core? And if they were to be full 24/7 for a month, will that exceed my current bandwidth? Also, all these servers will be running at default FPS.

You can calculate the bandwidth usage of each server there.
You should also be able to keep a 32slot server on each core at 33tick(that's for sure), I cannot confirm it with 66tick.

I have run a full 32 slot 66 tickrate TF2 server on a Q8200, which benchmarks faster than a Q6600. You should be fine with 32 66tickrate per core. As long as you're not running 500fps...

And should be fine at the default fps of 250 to 333

This is assuming that all servers are full 24/7 correct?

Also, if I decide to put three 32-slot TF2 servers on each core and a 42-slot CS:S server on the last core, will that work? Tickrates will be set at 33, and as for the rates; that leads me to my next question. What should I put in my server.cfg to get the least amount of bandwidth used each month per server?

Yes if they are filled 24/7.

You can easily put a server of any kind on each core, if it is 33tick.
Just do rate -> 20000 for Counter-Strike: Source.

You can run ONE server on each core. I would say that 24-slot might be smoother then 32-slots, but you can give it a try.

Most peoples computers suck anyway that they lag their balls off with 32 players playing... 24 players would result in more consistent smooth play for everybody.
