Yea you're fine with a Nehalem, honestly a Core 2 Quad could handle that.
Looking for a game server? Visit
fullfrag.com and pick one up as low as $2.50 / mo!

Depends on how much slots the tf2 is going to be. 4x32 slot will eat all cores up when the slots are full.

Full 32 slot 100 tickrate 250FPS TF2 server uses 20% of a Q8200.

Since when does tf2 support tick 100? I always thought it uses max 66 and reduce it to such, when you try to set it higher.
DoD:S also on the orangebox engine use one core of a core i7 920 for ~24 slots when you run it with tick 100 and fps_max 0. Same if you lower it to 500 or 300. But thats only with the stock maps. Running it with simple orange maps and such it is 30-50 usage with the same specs.

With Day of Defeat Source it is possible ^^
Anyway the cpu usage is very high if you set it to 100. 12slots tick100 @ 1000fps use nearly 50% of one core i7 920 core. With the same setting it is hard to get 24 slots with stable fps on that core.

Maybe because dods is ported to orangebox and not native. Or it is a forgotten left over. Anyway if you want large public servers with dods tick 100 is a nogo. The second you reac ~20 slots the server will get a hard time to maintain the tickrate. The fps will drop like hell for sure :/
