A lot. I am conservative with my machines, so based on my good guess, 250-300. To completely max this bad boy, 350ish.

Dualcore pretty much hit it on the head with the approximate slot count. It also depends if your going to be running heavy mods / garys mod / etc that are more intensive applications.

Yes sorry should have added, my slot count is based on source based games (TF2, CSS, CS, etc) Garry's Mod significantly less, as it is VERY resource intense.

Around 300ish. You'll hit an I/O limit before that though. Basically, after a reboot manually run each server one by one, otherwise some may hang.

well, that also depends strongly on the number of servers. you will probably not be able to run 30 10 slot servers... generally I think 300 slots is an over-estimate. of course it depends on your quality demands. for very high-quality war servers I would still set the limit at 2 servers per core, so it would be 8 servers (HT does not give you real cores). that are merely ~80 slots ;-) you can run more, but you will notice a quality degradation. that starts even earlier at 1 server per core...

Only 80 slots with those specs? Are you only allowing 20-30% max cpu usage? He has the ability to run roughly 2 24-30 slot servers per core (again depending on game/mods but I say TF2 as an example). Only 80 slots is a huge under kill with that server.

Behaartes was talking about war servers so I assume he was maybe talking about boosted / tickrate enabled servers.
