Team Fortress 2 Server Requirements?

What are the hardware requirements for running a dedicated Team Fortress 2 server under Linux? Specifically I am interested in how many megabytes of RAM I should expect to use per player and (since MHz is pretty much irrelevant now) I guess "how many players you can get on various models of Athlon 64 X2 without lag" unless there is a more elegant way of expressing it.

1. I ran a server off my computer and was playing at the same time and it seemed to work really good until about 10 people joined then some people would lag, but some wouldn't. I have 2 gigs of RAM on my system, not sure whether the RAM was the problem or not, but it did cross my mind. I'm grabbing 2 more gigs of RAM soon so I'll try it again then. My guess is 2 gigs is fine if the computer is a dedicated server.
