I'd say 5 but I am probably way off the mark.

we did a test on an identical machine with one half life server running with 16 bots and it was fully loaded, but not sure if bots use more resources than real players

It has been my expierience with Real Bot, that they use loads and loads more resources then humans.

I had a game server running for a while with 3 16 player games of HL, 2 of which were CS, one was TFC and that was only a P3 450 with 512 megs ram under Linux. Players use very little resources, RAM and connection are really the important factors.
