I was having the same issue on my dedicated box. I ran a single processor dual core and had 5 TF2 servers. The last one I installed had bad hit registry and lag when the servers were full.
I upgraded to a multi-processor quad and it fixed the issue. Although your resources in the task manager may be fine, as was explained to me, it has to do with the amount of info going back and forth from the servers to players, etc. Although 3 servers does not seem like much, based on your hardware, I'd bet that's the issue. You could lower your max rates to see if that helps some.
