I ran a TF2 server on my dual quad core server and I never had to dedicate a
core to it. I really don't think it'll use more than a 24 player TF2 server.
They never said that, only that it would use more than TF2...

I recently read that Valve has some sort of server scoring system in place that

to get a low score (and to be removed from the list) is to not have much
