Hardware Advice (slots, bandwidth, etc)

[Eclyps19]

I have a new box for my online servers. We're currently running 2 boxes. Each of them are

2 Dual Core Xeons @ 3.0 (4 total cores on each)
4GB RAM

On one box we are running a 30 man TF2 server and a 24 man TF2 server, both at 50 tick. The other is running a 24 man CSS server at 100 tick, and a 24 man TF2 server at 50 tick.

When all of these are full, we can some pretty bad lag. I'm amazed that these boxes cap out around 50-60 slots @ 50 tick.

Anyways, the new box specs are as follows

4 x Dual Core Opteron 875s (8 total cores @ 2.2)
8GB DDR2 (I think it's DDR2, I could be wrong though)
2x 32GB SCSI drives

My questions:
Question 1) How many slots am I looking at here. I'm hoping to get at the very least
2 x 24 man TF2 @ 66 tick
1 x 30 man TF2 @ 66 tick
1 x 26 man CSS @ 100 tick
1 x 32 man CoD4

I would ideally like to increase the size of these servers. Probably get the other 2 TF2 servers at 30 man and maybe bump CSS up a tad, but I don't want to sacrifice quality over quantity. Right now quality is below acceptable, in my book.

Question 2) What kind of bandwidth requirements are needed for the above configuration (the one listed in question 1).

Thanks!

What kind of connection are you running those servers in right now?
What OS? Windows or Linux.... What type of Xeons are they as well?
There has been some issues with some of the Xeons.
Bandwidth you're going to need alot, thats like 130 or so slots.

Here are the stats from the website of the old boxes

# Intel Dual Xeon 3.0 GHz
# 800mhz FSB
# Hyper threading Enabled
# 4GB DDR RAM
# 160GB SATA
# 1500GB of Pure, High-Quality Bandwidth
# Windows 2003 Standard Edition


How much Bandwidth am I looking at for the new box? Maybe 5000GB? More?

That Xeon information is useless, :/. We need to know the core structure/type, not your fault of course , just the webhosting company. I have no clue about cod4, TF2 peforms differently, but I can tell you about counter strike source. With that hardware 8X 2.2, you could get easily about 300 (CSS) slots. Then however you need a crapload of bandwidth to support that.

Ah my bad. Sorry! It's an Irwindale.

What kind of bandwidth am I looking at for about 150 slots? And you mentioned 300 CSS slots on this rig. Is that at 100 tick?

Thanks!
