I have an old Intel pentium 3 ghz machine and i want to know, what do i need to run a 32 slot tf2 server
I run l4d games on a 2.4 ghz. You might need a good internet connection with a high upload rate for that many slots though.
As far as I know, you download and install the TF2 Dedicated Server Tool and use that to start the server. If you're asking what you need to run a 32 slot server, you're going to need a good internet connection like stated previously. That being said, I'm fairly certain running the server while it's populated will result in a drop of speed.
You'll need some way to automatically restart the server if it crashes, 32 players makes for instability.
My post was not a joke, lowpings.net is win
Minimum reqs for TF2 (A 32 slot server will need more than this):
1 GHz Processor
256Mb RAM
2Gb Hard drive space
Internet connection with good upload speeds

I've got a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4, and my FPS drops to absolutely unplayable levels when there's more than ~20 people on the server. I don't think you'd be able to run a 32 man server without a significantly better processor.
Also, as said before, you need a hell of a good internet connection.

My server computer is:
AMD Dual Core 3800+ 2.0GHz
4GB RAM

What could I run stable?
If you're doing this from your own computer at home, why are you jacking the maxplayers up to 32? Just keep it at 24.
Hey, guys, I was wondering. How well could I run a server?

Dude if you want to run a server you need 2 pc if you want to play the one runs the server the other you can play on!
32 players.
Don't run a 32 player server. 24 is so much better.

FPS have no effect on the speed of the server.
