I would say anywhere from 4-10. It depends how busy they are.

I have a 32 slot server that has an average of 12 players, uses 15-20% memory (of 2gb) and under 10% CPU, which is a Xeon Quad Core 1.6ghz I think.

It's only got a 10Mb/sec uplink, but I think I could pull off 150+ servers on it. On a higher speced system (4gb ram) I would expect to run 300+ slots, again if you doubled that to 8gb ram and 3.2ghz xeons you could expect to run maybe 650 slots. This is all without taking uplink into consideration, I am not sure how much bandwidth one slot uses.

Anyone know what sort of bandwidth (as in Kb/Sec) a single COD4 slot uses?
