I can support 50 instances of L4D1 on a dual 2.5GHz Quad Core system. So if you only have one, then half that. That being said, I need at least 10GB of RAM on Linux to achieve this.
Under Windows, there is no forked mode, so each instance will take up more memory resources. So I would estimate around 16GB would be required to do the same thing. On a 4GB Windows 2003 system we were supporting around 13 instances quite happily. So depending on how much memory you have, it could be that your limit is memory and not CPU.

Seems that I can only run 3-4 per box without people complaining about lag, that is less than 1 per core. I see each server using around 25-35% CPU of a core and 6-9 of the whole box. I know this is the linux list but I'm running Windows 2008, but I figure it should be basically the same.
