TF2 uses a LOT more processor power then CS:S
All I know is that I have a 3.0 GHz P4 and can't really run more then one 24-slot server nicely.
It's about 60% or higher when full. If we run another server, both full would probably max out the server and create lag.

2.00 GHZ per core generally means 40ish slots 100 tickrate, only generally though. But TF2 uses way more reasources and can only run 66 tick max. Make sure to put that into consideration. Then im not sure what architechture those Xeon's are but lots of Xeons have been having problems so be careful.

Just say no to the AMD Athlon 64 5200+. I rented a dedicated box for TF2 servers around late December. For the first couple weeks we were running 2 20 slot public servers, and 2 private match servers on it. It wasn't amazingly fast, but it was okay. For some reason we are just getting nasty CPU usage and lag spikes though. This processor definitely is not strong enough unless you want like a single 20 slot server ran on it. We are switching to Intel C2D E6550 tommorow as I believe this should run it much better.
