Well, currently the lowest spec from 1und1 would be an AMD Athlon 64x2 3800+ with 1GB RAM. As I said correctly setting up spamd and clamd is probably the most important thing to do: how many child processes they run. I was getting complete server lockups last year with just one spamd child process. Allowing up to 5 to run solved the problem immediately. Best to keep the discussion on the list as I am by no means an expert but profiling your applications should help you a lot. As someone else has suggested, simply offloading spamd and clamd to another machine might help.
