Oh please don't compare Q3A engine based games to the Valve-murdered HLDS/SRCDS... I'm running (f.e.!) an ET server with 28 slots, which only takes 65% cpu filled with 26 players... (and now the clue: it is a Pentium3-1GHz machine with 512MB - but ET only needs ~192MB) If you compare other games server engines, you will find that valve shot the dog.
