Hey there, i run a couple of 24/7 cs servers on a few boxes with around
512-1024mb and 2ghz+ cpus (amd64/intel). On some of these boxes i run
more
than 2 servers, and when they start getting full, i get a lot of lag. My
question is: can i do some kind of kernel/software tweaks in order to
make
the servers perform better, or do i simply need better hardware?
This is hlds running cs, not source.

There are loads of kernel tweaks, some provide more gains than others.
IMO the biggest gain is recompiling your kernel with 1000hz (hz=1000)
there are loads of posts around about it.
Others aren't really all that beneficial.Check your network card is half
decent and make sure you aren't running cpuspeed.
The above hits it pretty much on the head. The only other opinions
would be to make sure your distro is cut to the bones, isn't running any
un-needed services or processes. (base gentoo or debian or slackware
for example) Your network card is very key for sure, a good intel or
3com card rather than say a linksys or dlink card or other basic brand.
you'd be suprised on the quality differences. Personally, i go intel
when ever I can, and they are reasonable. you can get a nice gige
pro/1000 for 30 bucks from newegg.com for example, just picked a few up
the other day.
if it comes down to it, you may need to start limiting client rates and
so on to a reasonable level to improve the client experience for
everyone. more than that, then yeah, you will probably want to look at
newer hardware.
