How many slots? (CSS)

[Awwent]

Alright, it's a Intel Quad-Core Xeon X3220 2.4GHz with 8MB cache, 4GB Corsair TWIN2X 5400 DDR2. 100/100mbit connection, but I get like 95/60mbit. The box is dedicated and is running on Windows Server 2008.
How many slots can I have on Counter-Strike: Source?
Example: 20 slots per core, or something like that.

Also, how many slots can I have on Counter-Strike 1.6?
Which CPU is best to buy: Xeon Quad-Core X3220 or Intel Core2Quad Q6600?

bumping again, k.

[Drocona]

No use to bump, also I don't have much experience with the Xeons but I think you should be able to hold at least 30, maybe 40 100 tick slots per core.

[Hazz]

I think thats about the same as the Q6600, so what Drocona said.

I thought the maximium slots with 100 tickrate was 18? Is my CPU good enough to take 40 slots?

[Drocona]

yeah, maximum for one server, but the CPU should be able to hold 30 players divided over a few servers

So, that'd allow me (with my CPU and RAM, don't think about bandwidth) to run eight 100 tickrate servers with 18 slots on each?

[Drocona]

Yeah, IF you can hold 36 players per core that is.
