Thanks for clearing this up... I think I will invest in a straightline Intel w/ 800MHz Frontside BUS and 1 GB RAM (an IDE drive +7500ms) to replace my Celeron 2 GHz w/ 1 GB. What do you think of this configuration?
I am trying to run 3 hlds_l (czero - czero - dod), and 1 srcds_i686 processes concurrently. I have maxplayers set at 24, 16, 24, and 32 respectively... Most of the time the servers don't lag... Only seems to happen when we sustain too many concurrent players, and the CPU usage shoots through the ceiling.
You need a dual CPU box for that. Your last reponse from Steven said a dual cpu box would be a waste for any "single" server. You're running four.
If you're willing to part with your wallet then any fast XEON or Opteron box will get you the results you want. You could potentially save a lot of money by going with a Dual AMD MP box though. It's still a pretty suitable machine for running a game server and won't cost you thousands.
