As far as the requirements for a 24 man server, I run a 66 tick 24 man TF2 boosted to 1ms server and it uses about 40% of a core on an E6600 (2.4 ghz) machine running Windows Server 2003. If you run it unboosted it will require significantly less than that. Bandwidth requirements won't be a problem if you host it in a data center, but if you host it from a residential connection you might want to be sure that you have enough upstream to handle it. Here's a good guide on bandwidth use, although it's probably a bit more in-depth than what you need at this stage: http://whisper.ausgamers.com/wiki/index.php/Tickrate If you go with a shared hosting provider like Branzone (www.branzone.com) I believe they give you pre-made CFGs to begin with, so it may be the easiest route if it's your first server.
