I wouldn't expect problems with. But I happily admit to being no expert.
Try ethtool -k <interface> and see what's what?

I've never really figured the load could be related to the networking
chip as our throughput tests never really show any issues when tested
(with all sorts of packet sizes, tcp/udp)

Maybe the issue is the network hardware? HLDS is very network
intensive.
I believe that some cards support checksum offloading and some
don't.

What I am still not getting is that our Xeon E5420's are doing
like 70-80% load on a single core for 24 players, and our Xeon
E5410's 90%+, where you say your older 4600+ does 70%.
Tried all sorts of different kernels out there.
Is there perhaps certain BIOS settings which could benefit when
running gameservers on them?
Ours surely should perform much better then that?

I have a AMD Phenom x6 1055T doing multiple servers at the same
time. TF2 causes the active core to go to 100% for about two
seconds during map changes, but otherwise I've never seen it go
that high for extended periods of time. Average during full
24-player usage is about 40%.
I also have an older AMD Athlon64 x2 4600+ that runs a single
24-player TF2 quickplay server. It averages 70% usage when full
and gameplay is great.
Both of these are desktop class boards with DDR2 PC800M RAM.
Linux 2.6.39.
Try watching your CPU usage at (relatively) high resolution with
something like "htop -d 1"
No clue why you are maxing out like that.

All,
I run a 32 slots server on a i7 920 @ 2.67ghz, but i can see
with top and such that its potentially maxing out at 100% at
times since it only uses one core. Is it really now doing so much
cpu that even a i7 core isn't enough? Didn't have much complaints
before the pew pew.
24 slots on the same server do around 60% when full.
