My clan is looking at renting a dedicated server. I were are trying to figure out how many game servers we can host on our box.
Server Specs:
Core2Duo 2.4Ghz
2GB RAM
160GB SATA
1000GB Bandwidth
Windows 2003
We would like to run 3 100 tick CS:S servers and and probably another 2 66 tick source games to be named later as well.
In your experience how many games servers can a box with these specs handle?

It would be 3 pubs and two privates
As far as slots go:
Pub 100 tick CS:S - 20 Slots
100 tick CS:S - 12 Slot
100 tick CS:S - 12 Slot
Pub 66 tick ?? - 20ish
Pub 66 tick ?? - 20ish

You might just manage - assuming not all servers will be full at the same time.
On my CPU i find that 11 slot 100 tick when full runs at around ~25% cpu of one core. I assume 20 slot 66tick would be roughly the same, maybe slightly more.
Could be do-able. Only one sure way to be certain though.

Also if you could provide a link or a description of how to assign servers to a specific core that would be useful.

Cool thanks Muppet you've been a big help
I would still like to hear from some other people about their server load experience. Even if you don't have the same CPU.

I tested a Core2Duo E6600 last 2 weeks on a 1800man LAN party (yes it lasts almost 2 WEEKS!!!)
I had the following running:
core 1:
-CSS 16 slots 100tick
-Hidden: Source 9 slots 100tick
-Hidden: Source 9 slots 100tick (yes 2 servers, just different settings)
core2:
-CSS Gungame 20 slots 75tick
-CSS DM 20 slots 75 tick
-CSS Surf 18 slots 100 tick
all had at leas 8 bots inside, CPU NEVER got above 70% on a single core. never above 60% average
Servers were filled up a lot.
