I am not sure of the exact hardware needs (RAM/CPU) for TF2 and L4D. I currently have a L4D server running on a Windows XP Pro w/ 512MB RAM and a P4 2.0Ghz, which runs good until we get more than 6 real players on VS then it tends to lag a bit. So I am looking to buy/build a server that will run the game better and which I can also run a TF2 server on.
What kind of specs should I be looking for when building/buying a server that I want to have Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2 running on. I plan to load the machine with CentOS 5.x and virtualize it using Xen so I can have one instance of CentOS running Team Fortress 2 with it's own resources and then another running 1-3 instances of Left 4 Dead (ie. 1 VS and 1-2 Survival/Campaign). I was looking at a machine with the following specs, would it be enough to provide smooth gaming for the above setup? Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz CPU 4GB DDR PC2100 ECC RAM 4x 36GB SCSI 10K RPM Hard Drives (RAID 1) I'm thinking and hoping it will.
