I read a post about srcds not using multiple CPUs. Is it a total waste then to have a dual 2.8ghz XEON? What if im running multiple instances of source? Does each instance choose a different CPU? Thanks for any advice/help on this matter. If srcds doesnt use more than 1 CPU, is their a way to make it choose which CPU its using on startup?

No, srcds does not thread across cpus because when people connect to it, it doesn't spawn another instance, kinda like apache for linux, when a user connects, it'll spawn a process and such.
However, srcds should attach itself to the other cpus, if not you could probably set the affinity process and what not.
