Our xeon 3060 with 4Gb mem. FC6, is running 4 dod:s servers, 32 slots + 20 slots + 16 slots + 12 slots with sourceTV. The scrim-server with sourceTV have been running for 2 month now and is now using 8% cpu idling. The other 3 servers is using 3-4% idling each ! So I have no problem with 100% cpu usage now
